940 Won't Start 900 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be toze on  Fri Mar 6 12:38 CST 2009 [RELATED]

well you should step back and get back to basics, You need 3 things for the thing to start,
Fuel
spark
compression

if it sounds like its cranking faster then usual that would make compression as the culprit, Lucid might be on to something with the washed cylinder walls lowering your compression. But then the question is WHY didnt it start to the point that all that unburnt fuel washed your cylinder walls,
See if your oil dipstick smells of fuel meaning that the fuel has gone past the piston rings and down to the sump.
Check to make sure that the routing of your ignition wires are going to the respective plugs in the right order. firing order is 1-3-2-4.

where abouts are you located?
