Uh Oh. Car wont start intermittantly.

[EP]

This is the second time my 93 MTX hasnt started for me. It does not stall on me ever which leads me to beleive that it is not the CPS. The stater will crank over but the engine will not catch. I leave it for a night come back and it starts right up. After it is running i have no problems whatsever the car never dies or misfires. Does this sound like a loose wire? Does the Theft system cut out fuel or somthing if i move the steering wheel to much? Any ideas would be great. Thanks!!

Check the fuel pressure & the DIS electrical connections. You may also have a cam position sensor gone.

Next time it does this, trying priming the pump a couple of times before trying to start the car.

While its doing its no start thing, look at the tach. If the tach is not moving while you try and crank it its the CID. Same thing happened to me and it was the CID.

I had no problems last night, but I just failed at starting my car. The starter made a slight noise but didn't turn the car over. My battery shows a good charge. My Tach wiggles a little bit but doesn't go above 0.
