It's getting gas just red spark and want crank
Hi Austin:
Counting on my fingers I make that over 25 years old, so the maintenance history and mileage become very relevant.
I'd be considering an ignition tune-up as an appropriate first step.
Changing spark plugs, plug lead harness (wires), rotor, cap, coil, Points & condenser (or solid state components.
Chances are it will show a remarkable improvement.
Red spark is very low voltage
possible coil failure or ignition control module failure
at 1991 I would think that it has electronic ignition and not points but not EFI but if it has points replace the condenser
I would consider a coil failure as closer to the problem
check the resistance reading or voltage of the 7.5 volt lead to the coil as if the resistance has gone high , the voltage to the coil could be too low to generate a quality spark
Testimonial: "It was running but it would spit and sputter unless you let it warm up a little then the service engine light would come on and it would run fine except try to stall in reverse then I was going down the road it made a back fire noise shut off and ain't started since"
ok -- lets sort this out. you say that it has spark but will not run, then you say that it is running and is allowed to warm up but plays up then backfires
--Is the vehicle efi controlled (ECM) because you mentioned service engine light and if it is,- why have you not had the fault codes read
everything about the low voltage is valid regardless, it is just the method of getting that spark varies between points,electronic ignition ignition control module and ECM
so in your next comment , state if it is EFI with injectors or carby, single coil or multi coil, distributor as the information you are providing is confusing
I have it says oxygen sensor but it doesn't have catalytic converter it has 1 ingector single coil distributor is new
replace the coil
