94 duster stalling/not starting
I got a 94 Duster with 144k hard miles on it. Live in WI where it is
cold right now, -7 yesterday. Car is kept in a garage, but my daughter uses it for school, work etc. During the last week she complained about it not starting. I assumed water in the gas and told her to add some antiicer which she did not do. Yesterday she calls and said the car had quit. I got to it, added some heat and attempted to drive it home. It started right up, but drove about 30 ft. and quit. Sudden quit, like someone pulled the feed wire off the distributor. Lights stayed on bright, radio going, everything else stayed on. When I turned the key nothing happened. Again, lights stayed on bright but starter did not engage. I tried a couple times and nothing. After a couple minutes it turned over normally, but did not start. As it was turning over, it suddenly stopped. Again, turning the key did nothing for a little while. It seems real random, not just a 'cool down' period before it turns over. I have it in the garage and plan on cleaning any/all connections I can find, but don't really know what else to check. I did not check for engine codes yet, plan on doing that this morning also. But any ideas where to start would be appreciated! Backally Bob |
