Here is the deal; My wonderful '79 924 will not start. I've done all the trouble shooting from my shop manual. I'm getting spark to my plugs, I'm surely getting fuel to the block and I know my firing order is correct. Think it might be a timing thing? I've been T/Sing Four days solid now and I'm quite the ticked off person at this point. <img src="graemlins/cussing.gif" border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" />

Absolutely sure about the fuel? Wet plugs?

 

Yes sir. I've got wet plugs. My baby is flooding. I pulled the plugs after trying to start her and the damn things are drenched. And know I've noticed fuel leaking into the exaust manifolds.

How about compression? Spark is strong?

 

I'll have to check the compression at lunch. But I'm getting one hell of a spark. My friend John about got knocked on his *** from the spark.( thats a little story in its self) LoL...

 

You don't have a baseball glove or an old penthouse caught in your intake, do you?

 

I wish that were the problem. I pulled apart the whole intake. No baseballs.

 

belts?

 

Belts are all brand new.

 

Man, that's a puzzle. Spark plus gas usually equals fire. Strange... <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

 

Yeah tell me about it. I've been stumped four days...I'm running on fumes right about now.

 

Maybe the ignition timing is way off. Can anything slip, like a sensor?

 

79 Hmmmm, you have Bosch K Jetatronic & points right ? Do you gett any of coughs or sputters when you try to start it ?? --Roy--

 

do our cars have a timing mark on the crank pulley or something that could be examined with a timing light?

It just turns over. No coughs or sputters.
