Really could use some help and advice. My daily has been down since Tuesday. It's a 93 EX Auto Coupe
I bought this car for real cheap and have replaced all kinds of parts on it and it's been running in tip top shape for a while.
I did have a similar issue like this about 4 months ago, pretty much same symptoms, I replaced the Distributor and I was good to go! Until recently..
Drove the car to work and back no problems at all. Went for a beer run shortly after arriving home.
Made it to the gas station. Got the beer and myself back in the car. And I suppose it was here that whatever failed, had failed.
Started up the car like normal, put it in reverse, moved 2 feet, Dies.
Started up again, this time hesitated to start, and took more cranks. Put it in Reverse, moved 2 feet, Died again.
Started up again, more hesitation, more cranks than usual, this time I tried to manually keeps the rpms up just so I could make it home down the street. Slammed it in gear, took off down the street for a 1/4 mile until I had to stop for a stop sign. While stopped at the stop sign, It Died..
At this point, I had to mash the gas several times or even hold it all the way for it to start.
It was dying and barely starting several times while at the stop sign.
I went ahead and tried to slam it in gear again and make it across the intersection, but of course, it died right in the middle of the intersection lol.
At this point, it will not start anymore, just crank and crank.
Pushed it off the road, popped the hood, didn't see anything obvious, I let it cool down for a minute, Tried to start and just cranks. Had to get my dad to help me flat tow home.
Last couple days I've tried - New distributor, checked all fuses, battery connections tight and clean, grounds are tight, Ohm test on coil checks out, You can hear the fuel pump, Main Relay is clicking like normal, I actually removed the 12mm bolt at the end of the Driver side Fuel rail, A whole lot of fuel came out with the key forward, so I don't think its a fuel issue.
I'm not getting any codes other than EGR.
I'm really stumped because I'm not getting spark even with a new distributor and a coil that's giving good ohm readings.
I think that's all Ive tried so far. Sorry about the long post. Just wanted to be very clear on how the car acted up to the point its at now. Really need to get her back on the road so I appreciate any advice. Thanks
