    Default No Spark?

    Hey guys!

    I bought a new car; 2 weeks ago, and haven't driven my 1992 VP 3.8 since...

    I cleaned it yesterday; and went to move it out of my driveway and onto the street. Oddly enough, I cranked the engine over; it spluttered for 2 seconds, and now won't budge.

    I *THINK* I tested for spark, and there doesn't seem to be any electricity coming from the dfi module.


    My heater core is leaking, and my feet receive a nice splash of water now and then when I turn a corner.


    Where is a good starting point, to get the car going again?

    I'm sorry that the symptoms i've described are so limited.




    CHECKED FUSES, NOTHING WRONG.






    Thanks alot guys,

    Dan.

    If you've recently washed the engine, check for water in electrical connections.

    check that the drain pipe for the tray under the heater core isn't blocked. That could be the explanation for the wet feet. Once the car is running again and you can run the aircon and the drain pipe is clear you can check whether it is coolant or just condensation that is being dropped. Good luck. What did you buy?
