Hey guys,

As some of you know I was in a crash at the end of September with my camaro, since then I have been focus on getting the major components and fixing the radiator core support damage.

I went to move the car a week ago and it fired up right away. After about 10 seconds the car shut off. The engine won't fire now. It cranks over but won't catch. I have checked the distributor and there is no corrosion or moisture.

If it helps there was no engine damage in the crash, I actually drove the car home after.

What sort of problems could arise from sitting for basically 2 months?

Thank you in advance,
John

 

Is the fuel pump running? Fuel pressure at the rail? Sparks? Checked injector fuses? Does it fire with starter fluid sprayed in throttle body? etc. etc.

 

Problem solved!

I decided to check back over the distributor again today. I noticed some corrosion that I must have missed yesterday. I also decided to check the inline fuse I reinstalled two weeks ago. I must have not tightened it down all the way. I turned the key over and it fired right up!

 

Awesome. Glad to hear it was an easy fix. Also glad to see what fixed it being posted. We need more of that on the forums.
