Hi all,
firstly, great site. I looked at a few before registering with this one.
I bought a 3.0l 1980 SC (80,000 miles) about 6 months ago and have had no probs with it until now. :lol:
Hopped in it the other day and it refused to start. I have a healthy battery, and a fat spark at every plug.
I have fuel under pressure at the banjo coupling on top of the fuel filter.
I've heard pub talk of faulty oil pressure senders giving no reading, causing the car to refuse to start as it thinks it has no oil pressure. I've also heard of backfires in the induction system damaging the airbox and causing vacuum leaks.
Can anyone substantiate these theory’s, or perhaps suggest what I might try next
many thanks
Nick
