won't start

1990 Formula

no pre-existing problems... got to work with no problems... went to leave work... won't even turn over... not even a click. battery has plenty of juice but still nothing

anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

I had something similar happen a while back. In my situation, the Control Module in the distributor went bad. I would probably check that first. If I remember correctly, you can get a new one at Autozone for around $35.

Hope this helps.
Good Luck.

could have a broken starter id check your clutch saftey switch, check yoru starter connections and groundings. heres a good one....turn the head lights on and try to start the car if the lights dim than the starter is getting power. will make things easier go from there and let us know
