1985 corvette wont start.
I got a 1985 corvette that was sotting for 12 years. About a week ago, i took all the old gas out, put fresh gas and she started right up, no problems. The next day or two car sounded better and ran better. I drove it maybe 50 miles in the course of 2 days,
well 2 days ago I went to start it and the idle was terrible, car barley stayed running, changed the tps, now the car wont start, it started once while i pushed the throttle but ran terrible, now it shows no signs of starting. today it had low spark so i changed the icm and the spark is a lot stronger now, Ive got spark coming out all wires, plugs are good and i have 48psi to the rails, and i pulled spark plug number 1 and it had some fuel and wasnt burnt out. Im prob grabbing noid tool to check injectors, if That doesnt work, shes going to a shop but i wanna avoid that. Any help is appreciated thanks guys. ps motor is the l98 and auto tranny |
Welcome to the forum.
Don't know how you're checking the spark but remember that a weak ignition system will look good on an open spark plug but will not fire when it's under compression at a higher pressure. since you seem to have fuel and air then I would suspect something in the ignition system. |
