welcome to fixya
no fuel to motor could mean the fuel filter or fuel pump
if you checked these then try the timming sometimes in newer cars the timming has a effect on it .....
hope this helps you out have a good day
Charging system
Hi William
to start with, check if there is output voltage from the alternator it self ( at the back of the alternator ) using a voltmetre
Chould give 14.0 Volt, if is OK, that means you have a broken wire between the alternator and the battery, this is common.
good luck
Wont start when cold
check the wiring connection under the inlet manifold for your cold start injector and your cold start sensor. clean or dry it if dirty or wet. pull apart and clean.and clean the butterfly at your throttle with throttle cleaner.and clean your idle control valve piston may be sticking due to dirt.
When distributor bad
need a small 7 mm spanner to remove .mark each lead with a number in the order of removal .change both it and your rotor arm at the same time.
Tachymeter problem
You probably have either a bad tach or a bad wire connection. The wiring of the tach is very simple - there are really only three leads to deal with:1. 12v positive from ignition - may be a red wire, goes to switched side of ignition switch to provide 12v when the key is on.2. Ground - goes to ground - usually black wire3. Tach sense - goes to the ignition - usually grey wire4. Light - there is probably another pole for an internal light - this would go to the nav/dash light circuit to pick up 12v when the lights are on. It would have no effect on the operation of the tach.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate
your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about
this answer.Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.
Timing marks line up but
some cars dont go by timing marks to set distributer you will have to make sure of the way your car gets set the best way is too pull number one spark plug put finger on hole have some turn engine with wrench until you fell compresion then get the piston all the way to the top then check were its at then if its still 180 out then pull it and put in right place only if you feel you can go into it that far
Coolant leaking into crankcase of
Thats possible but not as likly as the intake gasket being failed or next the head gaskets or cracked heads. Freezing without enough antifrezze is a cause for a leak down lower but it's possible if your right theirs crakes in othe parts too that you won't notice over the bigger leak or not full enough.to see the other leaks cyclinder linder leaks can almosr anlways be fixed with sop leak raditor additive and don't for get to change the oil as oil with coolant in it won't lube the engine parts well enough and it'll tear the whole engine up. If you've got it all the way down the orginal replacement gaskets are fine they just gave up over not having the coolant changed on a regular bacis. If you thing about it 78 was a long time ago and if you fix it now will it be running in 2047 for you to do it again? Sure O rings would be nice like road tractors use on the big cats, but this is a car, stock will be fine.
