EF problems/ car wont start
 

stopped at an intersections the light turned green, then the car started to go then stalled i tried to start the car back on but it wouldnt. the battery is fine n everything can any1 hlp???

most likely main relay or distributer. the only main things i had ever had with mine where it just quit on me.

ye i just checked the distributor n it fine so i guess ill check the main relay thks

need more info is it turning over can u smell gass what happened its aunto or u cant drive stick or whats going on ???

are u getting spark what motor k on motor any mods ???

my car does the same ****... i am running a b18c1 in an ek... how much or where can i go for tune-up parts. Thanks.

it a standard tranny with about 216 000k no mods n i still can hear the fuel pump priming before i start the car so i kno it isnt tht

Pop off the distributor cap to see if the set screw fell off the rotor.

if you turn it slowly to on then power as if you were to start it.(this should be done slowly) do you hear a click from under the dash (left side) when you go to start it?


if not your main relay is shot.
if you actually hold the key to on like its waiting to start try and kick the under of the dash by the fuse panel and it might start too.

had this problem when i was a cayuga last year (CSCS)

i heard the clickin noise from the passenagers side then the drivers side so tht means the main relay is alrite?

well you turn it 2 notch and it clicks and fuel pump kicks on, then you turn it to power on to start and as if you would here the car turn over it would click the second time.

but on the driver side.
