So I had just checked my O2 sensor and the car was sitting in my driveway idling, and then it just shut off. I go to restart it, cranks, but won't start. It tries, but it just won't catch. I have checked:
-Checked codes, there were none.
-Checked fuses.
-Had the battery tested. Didn't think that was the problem, but I have seen low voltage do weird things, and its easy enough to eliminate that possibility.
-Checked connections on ignitor, coils and coil pack, and cam sensor. They are old, brittle, but definitely connected.
-Fuel pump does come on, and I am getting 40 PSI according to the gauge on my AFPR.
-Inspected spark plugs to see if they were fouled. Looked perfect.
-When I crank it, the tachometer does jump up to about 400-500 and kind of bounces there. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that this means the cam sensor is working, correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm out of ideas at this point, I think I covered all the common causes that I have seen, any suggestions? I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple here. Any help is greatly appreciated.
