I went out to start my car today to move it for street sweeping, if you don't move it they will ticket you. It fired up, ran for about 7 seconds, then suddenly died and I could not get it started again. It is as if there is no spark. A while back I temporarily wired the tach light to turn on when the engine is running, when the car died, the tach light shut off as well. The engine is getting fuel, but just in case I used some starting fluid, and it still wouldn't fire. I checked the coil with a volt meter and it has 6volts going to it. Where would be the first place to look for these symptoms?
Of course I put a note on my car saying it wouldn't start, and the assholes still gave me a ticket.
