I'll cut to the chase. I replaced the Fuel injectors on my 86 IROC. I had everything hooked back up and started it up. I noticed I had a pretty bad antifreeze leak coming from the inlet to the heater through the firewall. So, I shut it off after having it running for about 1 minute so I can repair this leak. After about 30-60 minutes of repair time, I go to crank it back up. NOTHING. Nothing works. I can turn it to accessories and things light up inside, but when I turn it to "start", everything goes quiet and dark. When I did get it started before that, it sounded awesome. I just wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions as to where to look. Maybe a ground or something? I know it is not the battery because I swapped one from a newer Z28 in (same typed used) and same thing happened. ANY thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance from a long time looker, short time typer (to this board) I have gotten much help from other postings here, i figured someone might be able to help me out!

 

Did you by any chance disconnect any wire harnesses in that area while you were fixing that leak. Like maybe the harness on the ignition coil.

 

sounds like a connection problem. check the connections at the battery and ground to the car. make sure theres no corrosion or rust or anything. would be a good idea to take them off and clean them w/ a wire brush.

let us know
