I was crusing along and the car stalled. I was only going about 15 mph because I had just left my house, I could feel it missing so i tired to turnaround and head home but it died. Right now it is parked about 3 blocks from my apartment.

It will crank but it won't fire. Anything I can try or anyway I can rig it so i can drive it 3 blocks. It is an 87 and basicly stock.

I need help fast. Thanks.
 
Unplug MAF, try to start in limp mode.

Make sure it isn't an empty gas tank.

Got a friend who can help you push it?
 
I figured it out. The wiring to the fuel pump was bad. I unpluged the hotwire kit and pluged the fuel pump back into the factory wiring and the car started right up.

When I went back I checked if the fuel pump was running and it wasn't, so then I climbed underneath and fixed it.

I determined that the wire from the back of my alternator to the relay and the relay itself was good by touching the hot wire to the positive trigger of the relay and it clicked. So then I climbed under the car and bypassed the hotwire and the fuel pump ran. So I was able to drive it home.
