Hey,
I recently fixed my exhaust manifold leak and replaced
the gasket and now it doesn't leak smoke. But now I have
encountered a new problem, when I was driving the car it
started to get pretty hot like 3/4 of the temp gauge.
Then eventually the car wouldnt start when parked and I let it
cool down and was able to start it. Then after a while
I was driving and the car just died on me (while driving) and wouldnt
start. After trying to start it for a while, it would
stop cranking and nothing would happen when I turned
the key. The next day I was able to start it again and
it then it died again and wouldn't start.
I checked the timing and it was advanced and I tried
setting it back to TDC but now its not starting.
I have a 76 Fiat 131S with a distributor from a 79-81
Fiat Spider (Electronic Ignition). Got the distributor a while back from a pick N pull junk yard place.
I'm thinking the problem is ignition related, maybe the magnetic pickup or the electronic module has gone bad?
Any Ideas?
Thanks
