Help my car won't start!
Hi,
I own a 1991 RS with the 191 v6. Yesterday I was accelerating from a stop light when it started misfiring pretty bad. It proceeded to die and not start at the next full stop.
I have 40PSI at the fuel rail. And what appears to be a white (bluish?) spark from the coil. However there seems to be no spark at any of the plugs. Cap and rotor look perfect but I am going now to get a replacement just in case.
Is this a timing malfunction? Any other ideas would help! I am quite stumped

check fuel pressure specs. that sounds low, but i dont remember the spec.
and make sure you get spark all the way down to the spark plug.
