Desperate in NY no start! 700 1988

This happened to me too...

1)try boosting it, try to run both cars to transfer battery power faster
2)There is a sensor on the airbox (bottom left side of engine). Give it a few "love taps" and make sure the connector is in properly (o2 sensor that will make your car not start/run like a dog if it is screwy)
3)Turn off all accessories
4)Check all fuses...

Then try to start the engine. Boosting it usually helps the most, as it sounds like the electricity is not getting anywhere...but CHECK the O2 sensor!!!! That thing makes or breaks these engines!

Good luck!
