Foxbody starting problems
Still having a problem with my foxbody starting...I can get the car fired up and adjust the timing and it will run great. I turn off the car and try to restart it and it just cranks... To get the car restarted I have to advance the timing (turn the distributor clockwise) and it'll start kinda run like crap until I turn the distributor back counter clockwise (retard). My question is what could be causing this? I've eliminated basically everything...it used to crank and start fine day in and day out for years up until now..new distributor etc. When you turn the key on does the computer automatically retard the timing or adjust timing while is cranking/starting? Is it possible that the computer isn't doing that anymore? 90 Lx 5.0 fuel injected..

Shake the wiring harness going to the distributor instead of turning the distributor to see if that changes anything.Magnus, I am your father. You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein.Comment

when it wont start, is it spinning over fast or slow?"If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry FordComment

Did you try pulling the spout to see if that changes anything, check the timing with a timing light on the restart.Interested in being a VIP member and donating to the site? Click here http://dfwmustangs.net/forums/payments.phpComment
