hey everyone, I'm new to the forum thing, first time joining one, I posted some pics of my olds, it has only 50.000 original miles, had to put a new tranny in it, little background on the car I live in Oklahoma small town, found this car on craigslist, seller lied to me said it was daily driver well, I got 7 miles from her house and the tranny went out,anyways, the problem I have now is it wont start, I drove it one day parked it went out the next day and it wouldn't start, it turns over , I have replace the , coil,ignition control module, plugs,wires, dist cap rotor,starter,carburetor, electronic spark control, fuel filter, I have checked for fuel and its getting fuel, checked for spark at the plugs, sometimes it has a spark and other times it don't . I'm hoping since its a low mile car it don't have issues with the timing gears or chain. but any help I would greatly appreciate guys, thanks and have a great day.

Do you know for sure it's low miles? If it is I wonder what happened for the transmission to go out? Unless the tv cable was left off of the carb. Or maybe it's got the TH200C. Most I've seen have the TH2004R (overdrive trans) and I have had several now with lots of miles on them.

Maybe check for timing chain slop by turning the engine by hand and watching the distributor rotor turn. Sounds like you've done basically everything in the ignition system except the pickup coil which you have to pull the distributor to replace.

 

Delta 88 I'm assuming.

 

just because the module is new doesn't mean it's good,it could also be the pick up coil in the distributor making intermittent contact.
