1993 Cobra Registry

I dont ask too many questions around here but my car is really thrown me for a loop......

The other night I was driving home from dinner and it dyed on me on the freeway and I had to get towed home..

Well today I got a chance to check it out and I was looking around and found out that the rotor had melted the tip under the cap. So I went and bought a new cap and rotor and replaced it but it still will not start. I have also check the timing ,plug(when I did check them #5 had a little gas on the tip),vacume leaks,and for some strange reason in between trying to start it I put my hand on the grond wire of the battery and it was extreamly hot??

What do you guys think it might be???? I am really lost and any help you can give me would be great..

Thanks
Phillip

If the ground is really hot then there is either a ground issue or the starter solenoid could be a cause for concern. You could also have over heated the wire by many attemps to start the engine.

Does it crank ?

Does it have spark ?

Does it have good fuel pressure

Sounds to me like a ground issue. Like what was said before you may want to check all your grounds. Let us know what you find out. Bryan

Did the ignition module on the distributer go bad?

I was thinking that when he said he was driving and it stalled on the highway.

The usually restart after they cool down.

I was wanting all the info before I told him that.

Sounds to me also like maybe the fuel pump.

have you had any luck yet????
