This is a question that most people dont ask here, car probs. I got this 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera and it wont start. Gas is getting to the fuel injector and the only apparent thing is that the car is not firing. Like there is no spark, so any ideas?? Grin thanks for any help ;)

check for spark. take a screwdriver with a plastic handle, remove the end of one sparkplug wire from the sparkplug.. stick the screwdriver in the end of the wire and hold it close to a metal grounding surface. Have someone turn the key and watch for a spark to jump from the screwdriver to the metal ground surface.

hehe did that, no spark. I changed the coil and still no spark.

well if it has electronic egnition check your tfi module



if it has no electronic egnition then check ur coils and points

what the **** i've never seen someone call it "egnition" are you retarded?

yea he knows what I mean......and u prolly never even heard of a tfi so stfu



and let me know if that was it....what I am saying I know thats whats wrong

well it has to be something to do with the electrical obviously... check solinoid, distributer wiring (cap connections) and spark plug wires... cant think of anything else
