Tryed to start it and i got one pop out of it. then nothing again. the 87 has been sitting in my driveway for a year and a half. hasn't been running. the motor that i just put in it has 10,000 miles on it. its getting spark, and getting gas. i pulled the plug and it smelled like gas. Is there a computer reset switch? i dont know anything about fuel injection so any info would help.

If that was the case it would pop more than once. He said it only popped once. 180 out would be nasty poppin!! But who knows maybe it is!!!<br /><br />If its not 180 then it does sound like you have a firing order issue. You can rule out fuel by measuring fuel pressure and making sure that its correct. Test spark and make sure its still good. Get a damn timing light and make sure timing is correct.
