Car won't start 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Sat Dec 8 21:06 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I acquired a great deal on this car, but/because it won't start. I replaced the dead battery. The ignition clicks/coughs, but won't start. The headlights light. Fuses are all ok. Fuel comes out of the fuel line on cranking so the fuel pump is ok. What am I missing?

did you check the battery cables(especially the ends)for corrosion. Use an ohmmeter, check for resistance.

Also, fuel came out, but what was the pressure like. Did you get a strong spurt. Or was it a dribble?

Did you check the 25 amp fuel injection fuse near the battery? It can get really corroded even though it may look ok.
