i got a 90 si and yesterday whle driving the car cut off. tried to started it again then it cut off and backfired. now wont start at all. engine rotates and have gas. what could be wrong. please help asap. thanks david

 

i had something similar happen when i put in fuel injector cleaner... when you try and start it up does it make any noises? or does it just turn and turn and turn? your distributor might be going bad...quite common on D series.......

 

it just keeps on turning. it doesnt make any noises. im gonna check my distributor this weekend.

 

ur timing belt broke.

 

checked the belt and it is fine

 

are you getting fuel in the combustion chamber?

 

pull a spark plug tower. stick a screwdriver in there and hover the bare part of the screwdriver over the valve cover very close to it but not quite touching. have someone try to turn over the car. you should see a spark jumping teh gap from the screwdriver to the valve cover. if not, good chances your dizzy is shot. if there is spark. crank the motor over a few more times and pull all the plugs. see if they are wet to make sure you are getting fuel to all cylinders...

 

alright thanks

 

My buddy had the same thing happen to him, turned out, he had a leak and his ecu got soaked in the rain, was it raining when this happened?
