Default road map. (schemetic)

good start (well almost)
this is 91 usa model but is close. (i hope)

does check engine light glow with just key on.
yes, then you have power leaving ignition.

spray instant start in air cleaner tube to throttle body pipe. (see large pipe on top of engine)

just spary for 1 second or 2 .
does it start and die?
if yes its Fuel starvation.
if no , you have no spark and that a big problem.

if you dont have spark.
( check plug on disty) loosen it , look , then put back on.

check pins B1 and B7 at ecu ,
of not 12vdc , you will never start.

that is called the Main relay and main power line.
The main must come UP, you you will not start.

The instant start is a must for any troublshooting.
some use gas but gas has benzyne and xyelen in it.
nasty junk to breath. and can back fire and toast you.

proper procedure:
remove air cleaner cover and filter out.
spray into left ( right from drivers perspective) tube.
then go to car seat and start as normal.

tell others to stand back and stay the heck away from any open air cleaner. (saw a guy burned bad once)
this person was pouring gas down a carb while the other idiot was cranking ( very stupid idea !!!!!)

just a little, not too much, it is hot stuff.
sold at ACE, Autozone and everywhere ,really.


WARNING all engines can backfire , any time it wants to.
especially when lean !
assume the worse, accept less. and be happy !

have some fun.
