Hey all,
New symptom with an 89 5 speed that sat for a LONG time.
Replacing the injectors got it to fire after running all the other no-start tests several times and finding nothing amiss.
However, it bucks and backfires and runs terribly (and not for very long) when I start it. I suspected Cam Sensor initially but it RUNS THE SAME WITH OR WITHOUT IT THE CAM SENSOR plugged in. Also, THERE'S NO MOVEMENT OF THE TACH at all.
I left the battery on charge last night because it was getting low and I know voltage is critical, and this afternoon I was planning to remount the DIS with fresh paste (I had it off during the initial troubleshooting) and perhaps change the cam sensor to one I have that I know is good....but shouldn't these cars run (not optimally) without a cam sensor at all?
I could sure use some more tips from the more experienced.
Thanks
K
