Subject:86 Syncro engine not starting:(
From:John-Reed Maffeo
Date:Tue, 29 Jun 1999 08:13:46 -0700

I went out to start my van two days ago, doing everything the
way I normally do. I turned the key and the engine sounded like
it started for about 1 second then died and will not restart.

This is on top of a >major< leak from the right head following
an all day trip (400+ miles) in the Arizona heat. I will be taking
it to a garage soon, but I thought I would ask you all for any
comments or suggestions. It would be nice if I could get it to
start so I could drive rather than tow it to the garage.

I do have a spark and the smell of gasoline in the exhaust.

Thanks,

John-Reed Maffeo '86 Syncro Glacie
