A couple weeks ago I posted about my '88 Spider suddenly cutting out on me. I got really good direction and I've followed it. Unfortunately, my Spider still will not run.
Background: I was driving along just fine and the engine suddenly shut off. It is electrical, not mechanical. All the accessories work, it turns over just fine but will not start.
The car is getting spark. I checked every fuse in the fuse box with my multimeter and they are all good. I checked the 25A fuse in the engine compartment and it is good. I did the same for the fuel pump fuse and it is good. I also checked for voltage on both sides of the fuel pump fuse and there is power. I checked the flywheel sensors and their Ohm readings are good. I did turn on the ignition and checked for power at the in-tank pump. The main pink and white wire had no voltage, the smaller wires did have voltage.
I'm at a loss of what to do next. Something appears to have shut off the fuel supply very suddenly and without warning. The car absolutely purred prior to this; now it is silent and I'm in prime top down weather now that Irene and Lee have left Virginia.
Thanks for the help,
