No Start on 93 SC2

[TheBigfut]

Had this issue last year as well, and it happened again this year.... car sat outside and when the temps dropped below 25 degrees the car has since refused to start. Last time I replaced the ECTS(already rechecked and is fine) and the crank sensor. Now it acts like it wants to start but wont start. The car has about 250K- 300K miles on it and I know the head gasket was getting weak but would this cause this issue in these temps? I have pulled and dried the plugs, still no luck. Not had a chance to check spark seeing how I am trying to work on this car solo and have no other help around. Plugs were initially wet so I do believe its getting fuel....

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated since this is my only vehicle now and I am still looking to get back to work.....

Make sure the connector to the ECTS (two wire) is corrosion free.

NGK Plugs? No fancy iriduim, platinum plugs

Perhaps a heater or some sort on the engine may help. Block heaters are what they are called. 250K is alot of miles on an engine, even an s-series, so there are more variables that must be considered :/

OK, so finally getting back to getting this car running. It wasn't giving me fire at the spark plugs and both coils looked overused, checked and found that both had high internal resistance. Picked up coils and module, installed to the car and still wont start. Can hear the fuel pump run when I turn the key and it tries to start but wont take hold. If I use gas pedal and hold it either half way down or whole way down it will start, chug and die. Do we have the possibility of TPS being bad? In the past year I have replaced ECTS(no corrosion), spark plugs(NGK), plug wires, cleaned t-body. Per my GPS(since odometer is inop) it has about 50,000 miles on it in that time. I have a thermostat I was going to replace but that was a bit more than I had tools to deal with so thats still on the bench waiting. Also have another ECTS(brass again) to put in when the rain stops just in case that went afoul again. At this point I'm thinking its just a large paperweight that needs to be hauled off. But am hesitant to make that call since I really don't have the money to replace it.

alot of miles are you sure that it hasnt jumped time?

[TheBigfut]

Didn't check that yet. I will look into it and see what its going to take....
