  1. Thanks Mike and Freebird! Im pretty sure it is indeed the knockbox. Freebird I pm'd you about that offer lol. I really need that knockbox!! I am a few hours away from clearwater but its not a bad drive. The car is in Melbourne on the east coast .
  2. Unfortunately I don't have an extra knock box . If the knockbox is bad wouldnt my injectors still fire while cranking? Right now when I lose spark I lose fuel too. I have been reading that a bad knockbox is fixable but how do I open it?
  3. hey guys thanks for the help! got the car to run by spraying starting fluid . it ran for over ten minutes then died.after it died i lost spark.no tach while cranking. tried starter fluid again and it started right up. again ran for awhile then died no spark. I checked the pick up coil terminals and they are out of spec 1188 ohms. I think this means its the pickup coil? problem is i cant find a place to order one from. starquestrescue this is a non intercooled flatty manufactured 10/84
  4. Got a day off so im working on the car. i got 12 v at coil when i ground my multimeter to body. grounding on the neg - terminal of the coil reads 0v. Shouldnt i also get 12v across the terminals of the coil?
  5. thanks techboy i have a spare coil becuase originally i thought that was the problem but then i realized no voltage at coil.im guessing if there is a short in the wire i should just run a new one? can i test this by running a wire from the + side of the battery to the + side of the coil? i appreciate the help.
  6. Awesome thanks yeah it started before so probably broken wire finally got the tps reset and now this...I will trace the wires and see if i can find something.Thanks freebird!
  7. hello to everyone. I have an 85 and it wont start everything is stock . I have read threads over the past few weeks. i try downloading the fsm but it never loads and i have been using info throughout the forum to help troubleshoot. tach moves when i crank but there is no voltage at the coil. the knockbox shows 12volts at the connector. checked fusible links and cleaned them I am also getting 12v there.tested for continuity between battery neg and coil. I really appreciate the amount of info on this forum .i am looking for troubleshooting help whether it be a snapshot of the no start troubleshooting section in the fsm or a list of things to look for since i am getting 0v at the coil. thanks in advance!
  8. Hello to all!! Rejoined a few months ago but never introduced myself. Im Joe with an 85 flatty!! Currently i live in Orlando and I absolutely love my starion. I just wish i could keep it on the road lol. Car is in Melbourne Fl. I will post pics soon. Im having a problem that seems to be the tps but i work so much its hard to find the time to work on it. Anyway glad to see this community still so alive and i hope to connect with anyone in the state.
