Bought a '92 88 Royale from family. Test drove on 2 different occasions, then bought and drove home 50 miles with no problems. Next day, turns over but won't start.
Replaced air filter, PCV valve, fuel filter; cleaned battery terminals with baking soda & jumped. Turns over great, won't start.
Sprayed a little starter fluid in the throttle body and it'll cough and spit like it wants to start, so I don't think it's flooded. There's fuel in the fuel line where it splits off to the injectors--or did I check the return? I was told a new tank of good gas was put in before I bought it, and it's about 1/2 full now.
Checked theft protection in key--diagnostic OK. Ran the ignition diagnostic and got 31 dings. Any clue?
