Re: won't start

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

First make sure the fuel pump is running. You should be able to hear
it run at least a little when you first try starting the motor. If you
hear the pump run at all then you need to make sure you are getting
spark. If the pump doesn't run it could be the # 7 fuse, the wiring,
the inertia switch, or the RPM relay. It could also be a bad pump. If
you aren't getting spark a couple of common causes are bad connections
on the ballast resistors or a bad pick-up coil in the distributer.
Make sure you are not out of gas. A bad pick-up hose will cause the
pump to suck air especailly if the tank is low. You should see a nice
fat BLUE spark, not a thin, weak, orange one.
