dbolt Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I need help here fellas! I have a 95 and it died in the middle of driving and won't start now. I heard what I can best describe as a "proof" while accelerating and then it died, and won't come back to life. It turns over like normal, and I don't hear a valve that may have gotten sucked in. It's baffling me. Any ideas guys? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Nguyen Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Dizzy rotor screw backed out? Check air fuel spark. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 definitely check the simple things first.... I have see coils go 'poof' and therefor no spark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughroad Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Surely it have to be the ignition system. Start with the coil and distributor. Also check the fuel delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Check for spark. If you've got no spark, take the distributor cap off and watch while someone turns the key. If the rotor doesn't spin, the poof was your timing belt. Hopefully it wasn't that. See if you can hear the fuel pump hum when you turn the key on, check the fuse box to see if anything in there went poof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwarren289 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Dbolt - Did you find what the problem was? I just had my 97 out on the beach and the same thing happened. My son was driving he didn't mention the "poof" sound, but died while driving and then would not restart. It has spark and the engine cranks, same as yours. Thanks for any suggestions!
