Corrado G60 Will not start

Recommended Posts

My C sat for 4 months without a start. I've changed the plugs and wires, distributer and rotor,fuel filter and also changed the fluids. The engine will turn but will not start. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

John

OK, assuming that the car ran perfectly before the 4 month sleep...

 

Take all 4 plugs out, disconnect the coil -> distributor wire at the coil, put a rag over each of the plug holes and turn the engine over with the starter for 10 - 15 seconds....

 

Throw the rags away, put the plugs back in, re-connect the coil wire and try it again... Odds are that you've got stale fuel in the cylinders which just isn't getting cleared out properly.

 

If that doesn't clear it, answer these questions:

 

Does it even sound like it's trying to fire at all?

Is there a spark at each plug?

Is the fuel pump running while cranking the engine?

 

If all of these are YES, then you may have to bump start it by towing it with another car... Could be that the starter can't quite spin the engine fast enough to get her started... :?

 

Good luck anyway... 8)

Any ideas what it was in the end?

 

Glad it's working anyway.... 8)
