This morning I drove it for the first time in a month. Cranked fine, but was
very low on fuel. Drove it to the gas station filled it up, then - no crank! It turns over fine but no crank! Any ideas? I'm going to work on it now and will post back. |

Depending on the miles it could be the timing belt. I also had a problem
with some little expensive chip in my distributor cap.

That would be a 'no spark' condition. That "expensive chip" was probably the igniter.I understand they're not cheap. > > "Jim Yanik" <jyanik@abuse.gov> wrote in message > news:Xns94BBC9B9CC334jyanikkuanet@204.117.192.21.. . >> Yes,if it "cranks",then it's either no spark,or no fuel. >> No fuel could be 'main relay' or ignition switch,while no spark could be >> ignition switch,ignitor,or coil. >> >> -- >> Jim Yanik >> jyanik-at-kua.net > > > If a timing belt breaks,the sound of 'cranking' is radically different since the cams are not turning,a much lighter load on the starter motor. I would hope one could tell the difference by ear.I had a timing belt break on a Civic CVCC many years ago,and the motor really 'whirred' compared to the normal cranking sound.Fortunately,the CVCC motor was not an interference design,so no damage was done.YMMV. -- Jim Yanik jyanik-at-kua.net |
