|    Car won't start...    |

      From: michael.trew@att.net              Aforementioned 1968 Ford Galaxie 302 engine won't start. It cranks over       just fine, but won't try to catch or even "pop off" just once. Seems       exactly like a no-spark condition.              It's been a wet day, so I popped the distributor cap, but no       condensation. Wiped off the metal parts and rotor anyway (not dirty).       I pulled a random plug wire and put a spark tester on it, resting on the       block. It sure lit up, that cylinder had spark.              Drats... I really thought that the coil went, but it still has spark to       the distributor cap. I dumped a bit of fuel down the throttle. No       difference. Cranks just fine, but it won't even pop as if it were       trying to catch; not even on one cylinder.              I guess I'll try again in the morning. Any ideas? How ironic that I       get stumped like this, after posting a couple of times today how old       cars are so much easier to work on... LOL. Thanks in advance.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
