So I been tinkering with my 90 Notch this weekend. Installed a new clutch cable, aluminum quadrant, and firewall adjuster. Worked out great I love the way the clutch pedal feels now.
So while I was working I was thinking, this thing is really greasey. So today I got a can of engine degreaser and headed over to the car wash. I sprayed the engine and engine compartment, let it soak a bit, then washed it off with the high pressure car wash.
Car started, I drove it a few miles to dry it out, then headed for home. Well I got 3 blocks from my house and the car sputtered and died ! Now it will crank fine but wont start !
I've done some stupid things, but this is the worst one in quite a while.
Any ideas as to where I should start diagnosing ?
