    1) disconnect the battery

    2) check all fuses

    3) replace distributer cap & rotor

    4) check wires at coil

    5) reconnect battery

    It worked on my daughter's Mitsubishi (I think that it was the battery disconnect that actually did the trick - reset the computer).

    Im not finding a distributor cap on this? Just three coils? on top.

    Which are about $40 a piece.

    This just happened after my fiance drain the tank almost bone dry. The pump seems to be churning though.

    Thanks for the help.

    Loverly.

    I have no experience with Chebbies so can't say any more but I'd still try disconnecting the battery for about 30 minutes before trying anything else. Computer resets can work miracles.

    BTW: interesting perspective on the photo. Looks like there's no engine in there, just empty nose cone.

    Oh its a great vehicle to work on. NOT.
    The engine sits wayyy back. The plugs are near the passenger wheel on the bottom of the block.

    I hope the disconnection does the trick that would be awesome.
