I have an 87 Regal Limited original 307 engine, which now will not start. Car was having trouble when I got it, I believe it turned out to be the tps connector harness tab is broke and it works its way out sometimes and the car runs bad, taped it up and all better as well as a new fuel filter in the carb. Anyway during that time I bough all new AC Delco Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and An Accel Coil. Car was running great all the way til when I shut it off this morning to start a routine maintence job. Talk about if it aint broke dont fix it....
I put all that stuff on today, took my time, labeled all the wires, gapped all plugs to .060, put that clear stuff on the boots, finished up and tried to start and nothing.... It just cranks and cranks but will not turn over. It sometimes sounds like it might but just a tease. This is so frustrating. I double checked to make sure all wires were seated properly and that none were crossed. I put the coil that was on the car originally in place of the Accel and nothing. When my girl gets home soon gonna try the old fashioned spark test to see if I'm getting spark at the plug.
Any of these a possibility?
1) Ignition module
2) Timing went off somehow (I did NOT remove distributor)
3) Re-replace the fuel filter
4) Fuel Pump?
I had the car jacked up all day in the front in the garage I ended up having to do some running around between the time I started and the time I finished. Its acting like its not getting gas. Threw some in but no luck. My first weekend off from school and work since sometime last summer is off to a great start
