check fuel pressure. possibly a blown fuse. crank sensor could be bad, the fuel pump and or the relay could be bad. thats what i would check..
Thanks... I checked every fuse, in and under the hood. They all seem good. I'll check fuel. There were no warning signs...ran great, then this. Thanks again for responding!
Thank you for your advice! A friend of mine told me to crank it, while he banged on the gas tank... started right up. Ran great for a day, then same thing. Now, it'll start if you spray starter fluid directly into the carb, but quits as soon as you stop spraying. Fuel pump replacement under way!
This is for ur FYI.... There is a second sensor on the bank of ur motor where it bolts up to the tranny ... If this sensor goes bad ur engine will turn over but u loose spark to ur coil n it will not start ....Don't spend a bunch of money on parts u don't have to ...
Just cut off lost pressure and cut back now completely want crank but will turn
