My friend down the street has an 82 245 that has been having trouble starting, and now won't at all. He said it had troubles mostly in wet conditions, so I figured it had something to do with the electrical system. Well, I just helped him install new plugs and wires, coil wire, and distributor cap and rotor with no success. I now have egg on my face. The car turns over just fine, but won't catch. I held the coil wire close to the coil to see if there was a spark, but didn't see one, and didn't have a voltmeter on me to do a more thorough check. The only other thing I could think of is a bad fuel pump/filter. The car has under 1/4 tank of gas in it now. Any comments/suggestions?
Thanks,
Kurt
