Re: 89 Toronado will not start
Got a new fuel tester, pressure at the test point is 42 psi and when cranking goes to about 44 psi. Watched for bleed off, lost about one half psi in one minute, and then seemed to hold steady. Held open throttle and sprayed (for about 3 seconds) carb cleaner in through throttle body without cranking engine, put hose on and cranked, sounded better but did not fire or start, just backfired. Heard a loud clanking noise after backfire. Tried 3 times and quit. I'm a little cautious about doing it with engine cranking in case the backfire ignites the residule spray. The wires i am talking about are the ones from the ign control to the coil pack, they are bayonets and not a plug. Must have relied on my memory, not a good idea, but found where i wrote them down, and i did get them swapped, however i was getting the same indications before i removed the coil pack for testing the first time. Is there a way to put an attachment on here? If there is i can send a video with sound so you can here it. It never really fires, but the sound of the cranking engine changes as if it wants to start, but just wont fire.
Thanks for all your help.
