Well went out to work on my 89 SC today . Got the fuel pressure back to where it is supposed to be and finally found the time to work on it. In my opinion anymore the SC is for ***** CAN. I put the car back together and now it won't start. It would start before I took it apart . Anyway I get pass 11 on demand and pass 11 Kam it has got good gas pressure and seems to have spark not for sure though cause it won't start it don't even try to start no back fire nothing I think that there is some sort of problem with the DIS system. I have two of everything of Dis componets cam sensor crank sensor coil pack ICM I have changed everything out and still no start. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Where should I start looking for spark at step by step?
I have really had it with this car. I always told myself I would never sell it now I just think I might take the cash and smoke it all away. I can't afford to have some one else work on it or take it to the dealer. The Thrill of driving it and especially working on it is gone. Since I got to enjoy it for 30'000 before I had to do an engine swap. I really don't need the car because I have nowhere to go and I have other cars to drive. I am afraid this is some sort of sign from above that it is time to let it go. I just don't know what to do anymore and it is frustrating. I have not drove it for a while now and don't like working on it cause it is such a problem to do the little things and cost more than I want to or can afford to spend. Also I have done it all before and it becomes insulting to do test and change out parts only to fail. I am also way tired of it nickle and diming me. I am Down and out in SC community. I know I know I sound like a wyner but I am just tired of the whole scene and never being able to drive the darned thing. Some times you just got to draw the line and realize maybe it is just not ment to be anymore. What even makes me sadder is I see folks trying to give their SCs away and knowone will even take them or give them a fair amount of cash for it. Well I have One that is stock with a good motor in it high milage on the body though. I am not going to take less than 5000 for it if I decide to sell it cause it has alot of parts that will come along with it. I know I am probably asking more than I will ever get or lots a luck finding a buyer who is gonna waste the money on an old car when they can put a down payment on a new one. Looks Like If I can't get it going I will have to put it out to pasture and forget about it. I am not going to let someone steal it for a grand heck I paid that much for the lowmilage motor I just put in it.
So anyone got any Ideas on where I should get started about my no start problem? OR should I just ***** CAN it . One thing is for sure life will go on with out the SC but I sure would like to see it run again. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT.
