I have a 1988 trans am gta with a 350tpi engine. It has spark and I belove of is getting gas cuz I smell it and must be getting air cuz it misfires. It goes pop pop pop pop continuously but doesn't start I checked the timing like the book said line up balancer at the 0 degree mark On timing cover and set the distributer to number one firing Position, can anyone tell me why It won't start thank you

 

hi
yes i am having the same problem.... got 45 pounds at fuel rail, strong blue spark,got air,got power to injectors, fuel to injectors,,it sounds like to wants to start ,but nothing..

 

from cranking on them so much id try replacing the plugs, my car was doing exactly what both of yours were doing and i changed the plugs and it fired right up

 

hello
thanks for the responce,,, my plugs are brand new

 

You could be 180* off on timing if you did this and weren't on the compression stroke.

 

hello

thanks for responce ,,,timing is on the money....

 

To both of you. Something is not on the money here. I would double check everything again to make sure. Timing, wires, fuel pressure, filter. Go over it again one more time. Sounds like timing to me G-Reg might have it right could be something simple, Good luck

 

+1 crank pop pop pop means off timing. did you put your finger over #1 hole and wait for pressure to build up?

 

hello
thank you for the responce....timing on the money,,,, i found orange spark today while cranking it over,,,,, not bright blue....
