1800 won't start (long) 1800 971

posted by  someone claiming to be LCruz on  Mon Dec 10 18:42 CST 2001 [RELATED]

This is the 71, 1800 that I just recently purchased and asked you guys for advice on how to prepare the engine before starting. Did everything you all told me to do and I think is going to be ok. Now the problem, it turns and turns but won't start. No fuel to the injectors and no spark to the sparkplugs. There are some wire disconnected inside the car that I have no idea where they go (two yellow wires)just hanging from the interior right next to the fuse box. When I first try starting it, the fuel pump would not come on, took it apart and now is working (don't know if its sending enough fuel to the injectors)but does not sound as strong as my 75, 164e. It sounds very weak. I disconnected it and I hope I put the hoses where they were suppose to, I think they are right. I'm not getting any spark at the spark plugs and I'm still playing with it to see if is something disconnected. Sounds like there is no current whatsoever. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. This car has not been started for 11 years, so I will be patient for now. My other concern is that there is a white wire right next to the ignition coil that I don't know where it goes. I probably need to buy a manual for this car to trace all the wiring. Any ideas are very welcome.
