    2.4 eng will not start

    Hi
    New member had 2,4 rebuilt. put 100 miles on during break in. Engine stopped while running at 1000rpm. Would not restart.
    It has spark, fuel and timing (w/ pertronix).
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Did you strip a rotor cap or crack a distributor cap? If it has everything it has to be timing or a catastrophe

    If it were my car, I would run a compression test on the engine before I take it back to the Builder.
