Rep Power: 0 Car ran fine all day, now not starting?
Hey there, I'm brand new here because I just picked up an 88' hatchback last night for 300 bucks. It ran and drove great all yesterday, and today as well. The reason it was so cheap is because it's a little rough on the outside but nothing major, it runs like a top though, or it did. Anyway, I was offroading it pretty hard today, not jumping it or anything but ripping around in the fields before they are planted. It ran amazingly well, like holy crap she purred like a kitten and screamed like an eagle. It was glorious. However, right after we spraypainted the car and got ready to put her away, I get in and crank it over, and she doesn't start. This Is after her starting up just fine all day like 15 times. I hear the fuel pump working because it is now inside of the trunk, installed along with a boat gas tank. I do believe she's getting fuel. Are there any known reasons for why my 88 would just randomly not fire? I'm brand new to civics so I'm in desperate need of help here, thanks!

...it's not a Toyota 4runner, you broke or disconnected something.
Check your battery terminal tightness, grounds (head, transmission,block, battery) and fusses.
