My afternoon is not going real well. My 88 16V died on me in the middle =
of the busiest f*cking intersection in our city. I was sitting there at =
the light...when it turned green, let out the clutch, gave it some gas, =
the car moved a few feet and the motor abruptly quit. I am thinking =
there is either no spark or it's not getting fuel. I'm having it towed =
to my house and I should be able to see if it is getting spark. In the =
meantime are there any theories (I realize I'm not giving you a lot here =
cuz I just don't know a lot yet). The car turns over fine... I was =
concerned because the engine just didn't sound "good" when it happened. =
More specifically, I thought I may have heard a clunk, but I am praying =
that it was just the jerk from the motor dying while I was taking off. =
Again, it turns over just fine and no obvious electrical short or =
anything like that.
