I'd say it sounds like the fusible links or the ignition module.
For the links, check for corrosion and replace with plug in fuse type from McParts store.
As for the module, if you have another disty laying around or can get your hands on one, switch it out and see if it starts.Last edited by drddan; 02-17-2011, 09:11 AM.Dan

Before you move directly to the less probable cause check:
Coil to distributor connection
Center fusible link / cartridge fuse (located behind the battery on the driverside strut tower)
Do all other electrical components (headlights, marker lights, signals, interior dash lights) work?Last edited by Pu241; 02-17-2011, 10:14 AM.'93 Blue 5spd 230K(down for clutch and overall maintanence)

do you have spark?
do you have fuel pressure?
is the rotor (under dizzy) pointed in the right direction? it can be put in 3 positions.
is the cam rotating?Trees aren't kind to me...

it's got to be mechanical then, go after your timing belt first and look for missing teeth and proper timing, then do a compression check. should be over 120psi coldTrees aren't kind to me...

been a lil bit couldnt fool with the festy till today an only for a few i finally got it to start but it idled so rough as in shaking the whole car i shut it down quick im no expert but im thinking it may have jumped time which is jus great
i was gonna get it to a guys shop for a waterpump an belts replacement day figured do it all an be done i guess it jus beat me ...so thats where the car is as of now an last time i did the TB on a car it was a crx an it took me forever to get it rightDon't meddle in the affairs of Dragons for you are crunchy an taste great with katsup!!!

ok the timing seems to be right ..i have fuel an spark an it cranks jus fine but she wont fire im at a loss right now been fooling with it all day got the haynes manual right here an i have been using the " search feature " on the site the only thing i havent got to test is the ignition module an i dont have a spare 100 bucs to go pick one up right now ....so do you think its most likely the one thing i cant do an the IGN module has failed
i have 167ooo miles on the car an my last festy was a 91 an i put around 400 thousand on it an never had a failure like this i only did routine stuff oil plugs belts tires that car ran like a swiss watch ..im jus really frustrated right now sorry for ventingDon't meddle in the affairs of Dragons for you are crunchy an taste great with katsup!!!
