Driving a few days ago, my car died after accelerating from a stop sign not 1/2 mile from home. 1st time that's ever happened. I was low on fuel but not empty. No restart (cranks, fuel pump kicks on). Added more fuel to the tank and tried a few more times. I can smell fuel at the engine(near the rail) after I've tried starting. My automotive experience is limited. I've been reading this site for a couple of days and I recently was able to do some troubleshooting myself based on info I found here:
- getting clicks from Main Relay
- fuel pump audible during "ON" set/ignition
- K-Test performed and received 5V/5V from MAP/ground
- no spark when screwdriver inserted into pulled plug wire/cranking (near frame of car)
Could it be something as simple as replacing my fuel filter before I disassemble the dizzy cap/rotor and wires (and coil)?
