1.8 won't start
 
My 1.8 died after running like a top for quite a while. There is spark to the plugs and fuel to the injectors. I have a Pertronix ignitor installed, otherwise completely stock except for a big bore kit. Any suggestions?

A little more info would help, such as did it make any noises or just not start or die as you were driving it or does it crank faster than normal or not crank at all or what is the fuel pressure or do all the plugs fire, etc.

Just like John says... Check that you have spark to the plugs, the next thing to check is the fuel pressure. At least that is my sequence.

I developed a loose ground connection on the fuel pump on my 1.8 that stopped me cold... a fuel pressure meter piped in found the problem right away.
