JayTheGent Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I recently replaced my distributor. After getting everything lined up, she fired right up. I drove to the store and when I came back out, she'd crank hard but not turn all the way over. I pulled the plugs, they weren't wet so I assumed I was getting spark. I pulled the fuel return and a large amount of gas sprayed out. When I got home, I adjusted the distributor again and she fired up (I didn't move a tooth, I just turned it a bit). Drove good for a couple of days, then the same thing happened again. I moved the distributor aND relieved the fuel pressure and got her to start. I busted out the timing light, I was between 5 to 10 degrees BTDC. I don't think that's enough to cause a no start... I just moved to 15 BTDC. Please let me know what you think!

Cuong Nguyen Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Stock timing is 15* BTDC. Did you get a new distributor or a used? How many miles? Perhaps gas cap is not venting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
