Good one day, bad the next.
Yesterday as I was coming home, my car started shuddering (as if I had let out on the clutch to fast) like it was losing power. I pulled over and it stopped, so I kept on going. It did this about 3 times. I got the car home and now it wont start. I know its something to do with ignition. I have plenty of gas in the tank and if I move the throttle I can see fuel shooting into the carb from the accelerator pump.
Nothing seems to work,even if I hot wire the coil (wire from battery directly to coil). I checked the wire from the key and I have 11.8 volts going to the coil. I replaced the coil,rotor and set the points (.017). Could it be the condenser?
Any thoughts are much appreciated, I'm running out of things to check.
