No warning stall, then no start 200 1983

First see if you're getting spark. Take a spark plug out, hook the plug wire back up to it, and ground the plug by putting it against a metal part on the engine (be careful there's no gas around). If the plug sparks when you crank the engine over you know it's a fuel or injection related problem. If there's no spark, you know it's an ignition problem.

The most common stall and/or no-stall cause, of course, is the fuel pump relay. When was the last time you resoldered it?

Go to the top of the page and select the 700/900 FAQ from the FEATURES menu. It has a good diagnostic sequence for stall/no-start conditions. Print it out, run the sequence on your car, and post a new question with more specific information if the FAQ list recommendations don't solve your problem.
