I've got a riddle out there for all you mechanical guru's. About a week ago, my car started having problems when I accelerated too much. It felt like cylinders weren't firing. But it would clear up as soon as I hit around 4k rpm. The problem got worse and worse, and finally just died. The engine cranks, but won't turn over. (Oddly, the tach doesn't move when you crank it.) I checked the entire fuel line and injectors, which were fine. I replaced the distributor rotor, cleaned the cap terminals, and changed the plugs, but can't get it to fire. The plugs are firing, and when you take them out of the head, and ground them to the top of it, flames blow out of each of the spark plug holes, indicating that they're strong enough to ignite the gas mist.
My only thought now is that the fuel mixture is too rich to ignite.
Anyone have any thoughts?
