NO START

fuel pressure , do you hear the fuel pump prime the system when you hit the key , in 85 they were switching from carburetors to injection so not sure what you have

Its has a carburetor

pour some gas down the throttle see if it fires , do you have spark ? I know you replaced things but you still need to know these things for sure

I have no spark at all , all it does is turn over

I think then that you need a muti tester to follow the source of power , does the distributor have power ? look for a motor to chassis ground , spark + gas + compression = vroom

The distributor has power i was thinking it was either a ground wire or fuel, the car has been sitting a long time

a circuit needs power and ground , look for any corrosion as it's been sitting , the mice may have had dinner in the vehicle any signs of that there ?

There was a mickey in there when i got it , but from what ive seen no torn wires

Thanks I fought day in and day out with a non start escort I had fuel I had spark I had compression so i replaced the timing belt and and same thing upon pulling harmonic balancer off found woodruff key sheared and spun 189 out

What a nightmare my step dad kept cranking and cranking till he burnt up the starternso I had to replace that I traded him my Honda for his escort I'm so glad I got it going well in hope to have it going this evening incidences you know
