lift was running down road and stalled will not restart any help would be great
check for fuel and spark?
tank full and no spark...it was running fine and it just went dead ...it will turn over but will not start
What engine? Ed
title says ford engine. so its probably a 4cylinder ford. first i'd check the wires and make sure nothing came loose. then physically pull a spark plug boot off to see if there is no spark. from there, backtrack the ignition system to see if its getting power. maybe have to jumper power to ignition to see if that gets it going. you'll probably need to get a electrical schematic.
yes it is a ford 4 cyl
If it's an older 2.3l (Pinto engine) they are a pita to diagnose past a broken timing belt. All the procedures lead back to "Replace with known good part". IME, it's either the belt or ignition module. Ed
you are right Bumpsteer timing belt tks for advice ....now for work to get at it...tks again
Happy to help! Ed
remove distributor cap. does rotor turn when cranking? that would show a broken belt? or is it the newer ford efi?
what is chance that valves where damaged when belt broke
If you can find out what engine it is, then you can look up whether it's interference or not. Even if it's an interference engine, you might have gotten lucky.
