240 starting problems 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be phillyboy on  Mon Oct 21 08:22 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hmm.. Timing belt had broken, got that and a new water pump put in. On the way home my car stalled out while I was pulling up to a red light 4 blocks from my house. Grr..
Checked out resistance on fuel injectors and starter coil, injectors measured 25ohms each (haynes says 16ohms each uh-oh?), starter coil seemed okay, resistance was either super high on haynes had a typo (13 not 1.3ohms). Main engine fuse looks okay too.
Sprayed some cleaner into the air intake and got some rumbles out of the engine. Hmm.. Fuel problem I believe.
Laid under car and prodded main fuel pump(to feel if it vibrated and worked) while assistant cranked car. Wouldn't you know it started up. Idled fine. Shut down, started up again and drove around the block.
20 minutes it won't start again.
I'm sure I have alot to do, but does anything easy and simple come to mind?
