my 86 wont start, i recently just put a TPI on it and drove it home, it sat in my driveway for a week and earlier when i tried to start it, it started and then died, then it wouldnt start again. im not sure whats wrong with it so if someone could help me out i would really appreciate it, thanks

 

I would start with the simple stuff, check to make sure your getting spark & fuel...

 

it has spark and fuel it starts but then it dies right away

 

Could it be the consistance of fuel delivery? Filters new? Pump output the correct PSI?


Sounds like fuel delivery to me....

 

I had another thought....

You noted that you put a new TPI system in place, drove it home, and now it won't stay running..

How did it run on the way home?

Check all of your vac lines.....

 

it ran fine, all vac lines are on, i didnt adjust the timing or anything because i needed to get it out of the shop because there was no room for it to sit around, but it idled fine and ran fine while i drove it home, i dont think its getting enough fuel either but i dont get how it started right up and ran fine while i drove it home and now it doesnt even barley start

 

I agree, it does sound odd, could there have been some junk in the fuel tank that made it to your filter? If you dont already have one install an inline fuel PSI gauge to ensure your getting constant pressure.
