I have a 1984 Rampage that quit running, one day i was driving to work and it started missing like as if it was running out of gas, i downshifted and it went away,
got to work, parked it and then later in the day when i was about to head home i went out to the car and it wouldnt start.
i put the key in and the door buzzer was working, the dome light was working, but as soon as i turned the key NOTHING, the engine didnt turn over, there was no clicking noises, there was no door buzzer or dome light anymore.
I got someone to jump me thinking a dead battery, (even though its a new battery), and still nothing. i played around under the hood basically just moving this and that, wiggling wires and whatever i thought of at that moment, (without any real knowledge or purpose to what i was doing), as i did this i was listening for the door buzzer to ring, when it did, i would go turn the key and BAM nothing again.
we pushed the car and i popped the clutch to try and start it, nothing.
up until this happened, it started every time and ran great.
any ideas whats up with it? (edit) i just read the post about the other car thats not starting, i'm going to try those suggestions also.
thanks
