distributor? ECU?
It could be car battery,spark plugs or resonator
It just died randomly?
I'd point towards the distributor....more specifically the dizzy coil, especially if there is no spark.
can be starter motor
it cant be the battery if the engine is turning over ????
hmmmmm fuel relay ???
just a guess
could be
- ignition module
- coil
- main relay
- fuel pressure ( fuel pump )
- ECU ( rare )
- timming belt snapped
- cam shaft snapped
- the kabominator
you need to do some fault finding like test for spark, take the dizzy cap off and turn her over, is the rotor button turning. can you hear the fuel pump primming ? check ecu for codes.
see how you go.
Did he do any mods prior to the problem?
dunno if this applies to an LS, but definitely sounds like a main relay problem, like it wasi n my dc2.
ECU codes 15 & 8
top dead centre position...
going to mechanic tomorrow, likely the distribtor..
rotor button turns etc
main relay replaced recently..
keep u guys posted~
i dont see how it could be the resonator
i'm guessing dizzy
check the leads for sparks, if not definitely the diz
i own an LS and had EXACTLY the same problem. Turned out the distributor coil was fraying and my dizzy cap was faulty (had a crack in it). Fixed the dizzy coil and replaced the dizzy cap and runs like a dream again.... :)
at the same time i replaced the leads and sparks just for reassurance...
its at the my mechanic now...
internals of the distributor or dist coil we think
leads and spark plugs been done recently so could be what u said gypo..
