the injectors are ticking, base timing is 15dgrees. the car idles and drives fine if i prime it to get it started. what can be wrong if i can drive it? its not a cold start prob because when i drive it then turn it off it wont restart.

Hook up jumper cables or a battery charger to it then try to start it.

still haven't got it to start on its own. i tried jumping it.

would i still get spark if the CAS is bad? someone told me to try changing the CAS but i stil get spark and i don't see how it effects fuel, is this a possibility?
