I just finished installing a new head gasket on this car. It worked fine before this. I had recently installed a new fuel pump in the tank. After all parts were assembled I tried to start the car with not results.
I have 2 1987 Chrysler New Yorkers, so I checked all the relays by swapping with the one I drive daily, all attempts failed. I jumped a wire from the battery to the coil to check the fuel pump, and it works. The car turns over fine but won't start. Do you have any ideas of what I could do next to fix the problem?
Thanks
Tom L.

Hey,
Thanks for the reply. Well, after swapping every relay, coil, logic module, plug wires and everything you can try. I went to swap the engine control module and discovered that I didn't have one of the connections in far enough. I pushed it in and the car started.
Thanks for the response.
