Won´t start, -86 2.1L petrol T25

Post by cram »

Hello all,

After a month or so of reluctant starting the van won´t start at all. The starter runs fine and strong and I´ve measured the resistance of the starter coil and it it reads out ok. Disconnected a spark plug and it gives a nice bright spark. Loosened the bleed-bolt for the fuel (in the engine bay) and tried to start and the fuel supply up to there works just fine. What is next to check?

I service the car my self, change oil each year. The spark plugs looks fine so have not changed them recently.

Great, thanks for for pointing me in the right direction. It has bee running a bit rough the first minute after i start it lately. As if all cylinders does'nt fire properly but it has settled quite quickly so i have not given it much thought. Im guessing that was an early symptom?
