Car won't start. Long.
I really need help.
I was driving my stang yesterday on the highway when suddenly it hesitated, backfired, then shut down. I was able to restart the engine briefly, but the idle was poor and it shut down again. Upon inspection, I noticed that I was getting fuel pressure, but no SPARK. My dad determined this by check my sparkplug wires while I cranked the engine. My fuel pressure gauge reads 32psi when I turn the key on, and I can hear the pump priming.
We went to the auto parts store and bought a new coil and TFI module, (the module that goes on the distributor). At this point the car had sat for 30 minutes. When I tried to start the engine, it fired right up, and idled fine, so I took off with it, only to make it 1 block before it hesitated, backfired, and shut down again.
No the engine won't fire-up at all, it cranks fine, but won't fire. I did manage to start the engine a few times but it would only run for a short period before it would start the idle horribly the shut down. I tried everything I possibly could, even swapped out the distributor, and nothing. I ended up sitting on the side of the road for 5 hours, before I finally had the car towed home.
Any suggestions. I'm really considering selling this car.
