Car wont do anything
Car wont do anything
So i’ve been working on this car for a while now when i bought it i was told that the only issue was it needed a fuel pump so i changed it i changed the tank i cleaned all the fuel lines installed a new distributor set the time got it to start and idle fine. Then i went to drive it and realized the guy who had it prior to me had incompletely manual swapped it so i installed a new slave cylinder and clutch line bled the clutch then when i started it up to drive it it wouldnt idle it would turn over then cut off. I was able to drive it around the corner and then it would die unless i gave it a little gas. I got it back to the house and now when i turn the key nothing happens. So i assumed it was the starter that had gone out so i replaced it and still nothing. Any suggestions?

Re: Car wont do anything
Slow down and stop changing parts without trouble shooting problems first. Don't rely on previous owner claims of what is wrong. Do you have a volt/ohm meter and know how to use it? Start at the battery, check the cables and the connections, clean and tight on both ends, positive and ground.
