well its dark here so i cant work anymore but i know everthing is connected, ill have to check my igniter tomorrow but do you think it could be related to a bad ground. and if you could maybe give a link to a diagram of all the ground locations that would be cool. ill get back to you tomorrow after ive checked the igniter and coil.

ive searched for a diagram for grounds but with no luck. in my search however i located the location of the important grounds:

1. from intake manifold to battery
2. from body to battery (near fuse box)
3. from transmission to body

i also believe there is one from the head on exhaust side to fire wall.

This could be as simple as a can of heat in the gas tank.

Your tank has a drain plug. Get rid of as much of the old gas as you can. Save it for your mower.

Or add two cans of HEAT, shake the car around a bit and give it 15 to 20 minutes and see if she fires.

I think you have old, low grade gas gone bad.
Just a guess.
