i just gave my car a tune up ... replaced the plugs, wires, dist. cap, dist. rotor, and some other non ignitions stuff .... it started several times, then i ran it, it ran real good, then after that run ... the engine will not turn over ... the battery and starter solinoid are working good ... any ideas
--oh yeah, its a 87 2.8L TPI

 

When you say the engine won't turn over, do you mean it won't crank or that it cranks but just won't start.

 

cranks ... but wont start

 

Check your ignition module under the distributor rotor, it might be barbequed. Also have some crank it and see if you are getting any spark at the plugs.

 

Could be a fuel issue or a spark issue. Do the spark check first. Your module could be no good. If you replace it make sure you rub grease on it so you dont fry the new one. It comes with a special grease (dont use just any grease). You could have also blown your fuel pump fuse as well.

 

thanks for your help guys ... it was the ignition coil
---i'm gunna sell it though, i got a great deal on 75 vette .... take care all .... you've been great
