A few hours ago, my stock 1990 DX suddenly died going up a hill at about 20 mph. Car cranks. No Check engine light. I have checked spark with an inline spark plug and each gets spark, but I haven't dug into the car cause I got home pretty late. I put in 2 gallons of fresh fuel (even tho I should have had 2 gallons in the tank). Was running fine right before. Swapped main relay with a spare car, no difference. It almost sounds like it'll start and gives like a minor misfire at times. Tried to use starter fluid in the intake, but it was inconclusive. Oil was a bit low.
It sounds like the fuel pump is priming, but all I can think of is fuel system. Anybody else have a likely explanation? I likely will be checking the timing belt tomorrow as well.
