No start...
Hi Guys,
Here's my problem(s):
My car is a 1983 Trans Am 25th Anniversary Daytona Pace Car Replica with the Crossfire engine. Last fall as I was driving the engine died and would not start again. I did some trouble-shooting before winter hit, then parked it in the driveway under a car cover until recently. My trouble-shooting last fall showed that I was not getting spark - the engine turned over freely, I could see the injectors squirting fuel, and no codes on the computer. That's as far as I got, until today. Today I trouble-shot the electrical system and found the coil was bad. I replaced the coil, then tried to start the engine. Still turns over freely, but now the injectors are *not* squirting fuel. I am also not getting *any* idiot lights when I turn the key to the ignition position, and therefore cannot tell if I have any trouble codes or not. Neither injector is squirting fuel. I can also hear the fuel pump run when I first turn the key. It sounds just like it did when the car would run... I'm gonna hit the books again and see if I can figure this out, but if anybody has any suggestions, I'm all ears! Thanks,
Rob

Haven't tried reinstalling the old coil. I also haven't messed with the ignition module. I think the coil check was third in the trouble-shooting list, so that's where I stopped and replaced the coil. How does this stuff affect the fuel system?
Thanks!
