1987 350 TPI crank - no start
1987 350 TPI crank - no start
Car has been in storage for about 4 years, New gas, fully charged new battery, car hasn't started in about 1.5 years before that i started it every 6 months or so
I have +12 at red coil wire, I have 7500 ohms from Hi point to pins, I have about 0.47 ohms between + and - on coil
I have SES light illuminated when key is on (seems good like ecu has power)
Just cranks and cranks, no spark, don't think injectors are firing as I never smell gas, has good pressure at rail and pump comes on with key
Am I jumping ahead to think it could be the iginition control module on the distributor? Is that something that would just go dead after a year and half of no use. Its been inside and heated but it does get damp in there i'm thinking something corroded ?
Thoughts ?
Thanks guys

I would check the distributor pickup coil first, corrosion on the two wires to the I'm.then move onto the Icm.

If it's sat up for that long, with out stabilizer in the fuel tank, it's a fuel problem. Check the fuel pressure and go from there, but I see a tank drop in your near future.

I have the same issue, crank but no start. The entire igntion ystem is brand new too. Have fuel pressure as well. I have power at the coil and going to the distributor. Tested the ICM (and even swapped it out) still no luck.
