Replaced coil pack, car was running for about 5-10 minutes then it shut off as if it was out of gas. Added 5 gallons of gas, now it just spins and spins and spins still will not start, just turns over. I was also wondering where the fuel pump shut off switch would be located. I know nothing about this kind of vehicle so please answer in step by step details. Thanks

Hi,

Did you lose spark to the plugs or fuel pressure? That is the first thing we need to identify. As far as a fuel reset, this doesn't have one.

Do this. See if it starts for a couple of seconds and then stalls if you use starting fluid. If it starts and then stalls, we know it is a fuel related issue. If it still does nothing, it's likely an ignition issue.

Here are a few links you may find of interest or helpful:

Let me know what you find. Also, let me know if the no start was an issue before you replaced the coil.

Take care,
Joe
