Ok, I changed the cap rotor and plugs, now the car dosen't run and the "sensor" light comes on. Also the orange light on the gas tank is on, but the fuel gauge shows there is about 1/8 of a tank left, and I'm getting fuel pressure. What am I doing wrong?? Think there is no gas in it, I haven't put any in yet? Timing? errrg I wanna drive my baby.

 

The fuel warning light comes on when you have an 1/8 of a tank or less left. On cars this old, I wouldn't trust your fuel gauge anyway. Especially the 1/8 tank gauge.

Check your spark plug order too. You might have them off by one location on the cap.

Does it crank? Does it sputter when you try to start it? Or does it not do anything...

If it doesn't do anything, check the condition of your battery cables. Apollo can provide guidance there...

 

Also check your rotor too, it may have come loose.

 

My car runs one plug over from wht it says in the book. If that make sense... Also I didnt know thee ZX had a fuel warning light??? I have ran out of gas 2 times and never saw a light.

 

Yeah it has one. Both of my Zx's have the fuel lights. They come on when it is an 1/8 of a tank or below. Maybe a loose wire or burned out bulb? Hope this helps you out!

 

Oh well I just need to keep an eye on my guage and I will not have a problem

 

There you go that's the spirit! LOL! Talk at you later man!

 

Yeah I am not the brightest in the bunch when it comes to electrical. just doesnt work, I have been trying for a month off anf on to get out my guage cluster.

 

Mine run 1 up from chiltons as well, I think someone might've yanked the distributor out, and retarded the crap outta the timing, or just messed up putting it on..It cranks but dosen't fire..It's getting fuel..So I KNOW it's ignition. Right now the battery is dead from messing with it...I'm really kind of dumb founded...I'm gonna charge it and see if it fires up, so far I've realized that these engines kind of like to fix themselves.
