Problem Possibilities

project86 · 06-02-2011, 06:45 AM

Hey guys,

My friends mom has a FD, Im unsure of the year right now, maybe a 93? It is currently not running. He says hit has around 72K on the clock. Last i heard it was turning over but not starting and from the description he gave me it sounded like it just wasnt getting any spark.

I saw him again yesterday and now he says its not turning over at all. Im gonna go have a look at it this weekend , but for now what are some common things that could be causing these problems??

Thanks,

Hard to determine without more info. Any idea what happened just before it stopped running? Or did it just not start one day? The only thing I can suggest is make sure it's getting fuel, spark, and enough compression. Once you have those three you should have a running engine.
