I know its should be on B Body forum but I suspect most of them don't have lean burn system.
Yesterday I had taken my '79 Magnum GT out to get to my '62 Chrysler 300. It started normal and I parked it outside. A couple of hours later I tried to start it and it cranked normally but did not seem to "pop". I gave it some gas but same result. I have a tool that tests if it has spark and how much attached to a spark plug wire. Several times is said "excellent". I held the gas pedal down to the floor and other methods including starting fluid, same results. You could smell the gas so I took all plugs out (some could smell of gas) and replace with new ones. Still nothing. One thing was weird was several times when I stopped cranking it it sounded like when a car "diesels" on shutting it down. It did that several times for about one second each. That made me thing of timing. A friend stopped 30 minutes later, reached thru the open window and it started immediately. Any thoughts? I suspect a faulty "Lean Burn Computer".
