Subject:87 No Start
From:Chris Pittack

Hey there,

Wondering if you could help me?  We have an '87 GL that ran perfectly until
the other day.  Climbed in her to go to work one morning (dead cold) and
tired to fire her up.  Sputtered once as if every cylinder fired once and
then nothing.  Will not even sputter again.  The next day try
again...sputters once (again like every cylinder fired once again) and then
nothing...no sputter no smell of gas after continued cranking.

Could I ask you to reply directly as I am in digest mode.

Thanks for your help!

82 Diesel L (Billie-Rae) Always starts!
