Default choose your own answers and diagnosis, use us to help aid you

this is an informed opinion...this guy has told you multiple times that the big wire holds volts, lil one to, and the starter is replaced, battery is good...grounds are connected, positive and negative the whole cha-bang.

i merely said to push start the car to see if it will turn over, check for a ticking sound by the ecu and distributor, (he already has a ticking sound by the ecu, i think its a ignition wiring problem) if the car is running but at high rpms it loses power (spark) its the distributor. like i said.. many times you dont look at something becuz ppl believe its not the problem and listen to them...
THIS IS A FORUM, THIS HAPPEN IN MY EXPERIENCE AND THIS IS WHAT I DID TO GET IT TO WORK..ONLY AN OPINION. believe or not

just push start the car to see if it turns over..if it runs, pop the hood and listen for a ticking sound and locate the sound. believe travis or me about the problem, its an opinion and you have to choose your best answer by yourself.. dont believe just one person..take everyones answers and figure it out..

but like i said this happened to my friends car not to long ago, i had no idea what the problem was, i thought it was a dead battery and we were stuck in del taco. so we called his dad(master mechanic) he came down, we told him what happen and we popped the hood and heard a ticking sound on the left side of the engine.. he came over and located it as to the distributor.. we pushed started the car.. it ran we took it home and the next it ran again but we needed to change the distributor...after that never had a problem again...he told us just to keep our IGNITION COMPONENTS on watch becuz they can go bad anytime..this happened again to another friend and i i immediately did what my friends dad did before and it ran fine..

and again.. this may not be the problem.. but in my experience..push starting the car helped and we were able to find out the real problem once we got the car running..
