I was just in the process of taking my son home and my 87 GN quit running all of a sudden.
The car's got 110K miles on it and although the motor needs rebuilding (it has a rod knock when it's cold) the car's been running great up until now.
What happened was that I was doing about 30mph and had slowed down to take a corner and the dash lights suddenly came on and the car stalled.
The car turns over fine, none of the fuses are blown, I can hear the fuel pump when I turn the ignition on and I verified that I'm getting spark. I haven't been able to verify fuel since it's raining right now.
I've tried turning it over several times and other than what sounded like a very brief backfire, it hasn't even come close to wanting to start.
Is there anything else I can check before having to call a tow truck?
Thanks,
Christopher
