84 brat cranks but wont start
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2013 3:34 pm
hey everybody, new here. just bought an 84 brat yesterday with 148k. the guy i bought it from said it would need a new battery, telling me that prior to that, it would start and run with a jump start, but if it sat overnight, it would need jumped again..but that a new battery would fix that problem.
anyway, the 2 hour drive home, i had two instances where the car died while idling, but i put it in park and fired it right back up.
fast forward to today, i put a new battery in, turn the key and i get it to crank, but not turn over/start . where should i begin with this? spark plugs, or farther down the line, distributor/etc?
any help is greatly appreciated.
