I just bought a 1980 Fiat spider for my daughter so I guess I just got another project, but boy am I excited and the cars does not even run. As soon as I figure out how to post some pictures I will. Also I will provide some more information about the action I have taken towards getting to run. I hope some of you will help a newbie out after I post my action as my attempt up till now has been futile.

B/R,
JimJ

Thanks for the welcoming and assistance with the photos. Tomorrow I hope to post some photos and describe my starting dilemma, just want to review the data I collected before I post it.

Here are a few pictures. I thank you for the help posting them. I will upload a new post “1980 FI Will not Start” under “Engine and Tuning”. I will describe the results of the 19 step “Starter Runs but Will Not Start” diagnostics. I also thank Wine County Motors for their already provided assistance. Any help getting this car started will be greatly appreciated by me and my daughter.

Happy Girl:

First time she looked this tall:

Fuel injected or carbureted? 1980 was the changeover year.

Fuel injected, you guys are great. Already getting some suggestion under my "1980 FI Will not Start" post. Thanks again!
