Hey Ya'll,
Happy New Year.

While driving the 89 Town car down the high way, the water pump/power steering belt broke and I imidiatly pulled into autozone and replaced the belt. it never got above normal temp.
No water in the oil or anything like that.
I pulled it home, charged the battery, it still wouldn't start.
I checked for voltage on the coil, I have 12 volts on both terminals and I have spark. I squrted some fuel into the intake, (fuel injected) nothing.
I know I need like 70 pounds of fuel pressure, which I havent checked. But shouldn't It at least kick a bit with the gas squirted into the intake?
So far, this one's got me steppin' and fetchin', anyone got any idea's?
Thanks
Dave

It had spark, not enough though. Coil fixed it.
