hello there this is my very first post here
so i have a 81 242 and it is a great running car and was my daily drive
and just a while ago i did a oil change and did a radiator flush once i finished i started the car and was just letting it idle and warm up and all of a sudden it just cut off. and ever since then i can not get it to turn over, i will crank but not turn over.
so heres the things i have checked
i am not getting spark i have swapped out the coil
i have tested both fuel pumps and have tested the fuse and have done the fuel pump fuse jump
i have swapped out the fuel pump relay
i have swapped out the ignition box that gose to the distributor
i have changed the cap and rotor and new plugs
i have a new battery
i have checked the connection at the ecu inside the car
my car also dose not have the main fuse on the finder
or a cps sensor
and after that i still get nothing
i am stumped big time
thanks for the help
