okay so i just picked up a 1988 323 GTX.
the owner was driving the car and it stalled out on him through an intersection.
he trouble shooted it and found it was a bad fuel pump.
he said he bought the pump, went to put it in, and realized the floors were done.
at that point he didnt see much use in fixing the car, returned the pump and sold the car.
now i have the car and trouble shooting it myself.
the fuel pump didnt sound like it was coming on unless i gave it 12v directly.
and even when i did, it would not start.
when i crank it, it turns over but dose not catch.
the first few turns it sounds like it is going to but after those, it just turns.
im getting really good park to the plugs.
im getting fuel to the fuel rail.
i thought maybe the timing. i adjusted the distributor and it was further from starting.
when i moved the other way it comes closer?
i was thinking bad fuel pressure?
when i take the plugs out they have fuel on them.
could the injectors be not working correctly?
bassically im just thinking aloud here hoping you guys will throw in some of your knowledge.
let me know what kind of ideas you have.
Thanks.
