Problem for Chevrolet 1986 Chevette

My 87 chevette wont fire up.

By aceaudio10 on Jul 28, 2009

" "

My chevette was missing for the whole year I have had it. If it stalls, I just start it back up and give it some gas. Now the engine will turn over, but It will not start. I even sprayed starting fluid in the carb and it won't even make a difference. When I turn it over, it will sometimes make a popping sound. Can anyone help??

you probably have bad timing my friend, check your base timing w/ a timing light, you might need to disconnect the main wire harness to your ecu.
pull a spark plug wire and ground to body and see if your getting spark first..
let me know..
