My 1976 280 won't start after I ran the batter dead, even when I jump it. I couldn't hear the fuel pump running (a normal sound on turning the key to the on or start position), so I replaced it. No go. Oh well, the old one was years old and now I'll have a back-up fuel pump.
I hot wired fuel pump and tried starting. Wouldn't start. I switched the ignition relay (I had a spare from a parts car), nothing.
Someone below suggested a fusable link was fried. But how do you know if one is bad. I think I'm getting spark, as the car will fire up for a brief second after it's sit a while, but then nothing, as if the injectors aren't opening.
Could my transistorized ingnition module be bad. What's up.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Alex,
