You probably flooded engine attempting to start with bad component. For sure change your plugs.And you should be looking at how old the other components are. Wires,cap rotor,Ign Module....Originally posted by sandy View PostLast edited by nitrofarm; 10-16-2012, 03:39 PM.Some people like to read fiction,I prefer to read repair manuals. Weird I know-

Yeah, he got the plugs but after the disti fixed his problem, he decided to hold off on putting them in. He'll try that and let you know what happens.Last edited by Britstiva; 10-16-2012, 08:16 PM.www.cardomain.com/id/jermnc77

Ya well Festyboy has a point. Especially considering there is a 30 day gap in between, "Its fixed" & its "Not fixed".Originally posted by Britstiva View Post

Neither of us have the tools to do a compression test. That's going to be on him to figure out if he has a bad cylinder.www.cardomain.com/id/jermnc77

There is a ground wire that could be the cause of inconsistent starting. I believe it is in behind the distributor. I am not sure if it's grounded to the engine block or transmission.Comment
