Cant push-start car (engine will not turn over) 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be FREQ on  Mon Jul 14 15:06 CST 2008 [RELATED]


Well I took a look at the timing belt and it was fine. Pulled the starter out and then the engine now turns over (the starter shaft was wedged and holding the flywheel gear so the engine wouldnt crank).

The car still will not start when I try to PUSH START it (but it will turn over no problem). Any ideas? I pulled the starter out completely, will the engine still be able to start when we push it or do I have to do something with the loose wires to the starter (I just taped them off for now)? Its getting fuel because I checked the pressure relief at the fuel rail and it squirts out. As for spark i cant really check it. I do know the plugs looked crappy and the cap/rotor even crappier. I suspect its an electrical problem, what is the most common culprit for a 1993 850? Coil? Maybe I just need to replace plugs and cap/rotor?

ANy help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again!
freq!
