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.
