wont start????

[bluestang1724]

so today i replaced the distrubuitor cap and rotor and afterwards it started fine, but then i went inside for like 10 minutes and then i tried to start it again and now it wont start!!!!! i tried everything!!! i put the old one back on and its still the same thing, it wont start. and for some reason its not getting any spark. can anyone help me????

sometimes with older cars when you mess with dist. you disturb the ing. module inside the dist. and they go out. I would try changing it. it's the little module under the rotor. with wires pluged into it. it should be held on with two screws

Did you forget to reconnect the battery? :P

the strangest thing happened yesterday. i bought a voltometer and tested for any spark and nothing happened then i grounded the voltometer on a screw by the radiator and the car started. it was weird. then today the car died on the side of the road. and it wouldnt start then i did the same thing with the voltometer and it started again but died shortly after. now the voltometer wont work i think b/c its been sitting in my car and the heat got to it. but i did everything and it wont start. it only starts when i test it with the voltometer.

Sounds like a ground problem.

i also replaced my dit. and rotor, and i seem to be having almost the same problem, my car starts, but then it dies a couple seconds later, almost seems like it doesnt get enough gas? i have a 95 gt, any help would be great!
