Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Hey there, so I rolled my deli a few weeks back and have just now gotten around to the engine.
I'm pretty novice when it comes to things like this so I'm not sure where to begin. The Engine turns after charging the battery, but does not fire. This is a gasoline 89' L300, I'm just wondering what common troubleshooting steps are.

My first thought is changing spark plugs and going from there, any input would be appreciated.
also she spend about 20 minutes to a half hour laying on her side.
5spd manual transmission

cheers

not sure if gas delica's have a shut off for the fuel pump if they get in an accident? very common on fuel injected cars. There should be a reset mentioned in the owners manual (I would look at Mitsubishi North American gas sport utilities to see if there is a shutoff).

Also, pull the plugs, put the plugs on the wires and ground. Turn over the motor you need to make sure the cylinders are empty of fluids from being on it side. Engines cannot compress liquid and you can do damage. Turn it over with the plugs out and see if there is spark (turning over with no plugs will clear the cylinders of liguids).

Good luck

As above, back to basics, check for spark, check for fuel, check the plugs aren't fouled with fuel.
