Why won't my car start? And the throttle body keeps catching fire?
What is your question?
I recently bought the car. But it had sat up for 7 years prior to me buying it. The car ran perfect at first. Then it I was on the expressway driving about 60mph when it suddenly slowed down to 30mph. Drive it back home, replaced the fuel pump, and filter. Now when we try to start the car up, the throttle body catches fire when it starts up. Help please....Also replaced were the starter, cap, rotor,and plugs.

The distributor if it is out of timing it back fire through the throttle body this is cold a cough where it is enough to catch the throttle body on fire especially if there is no air cleaner cover, the firing order has to be correct and if it is correct the timing can still be off due to a reluctor in the distributor that may have shifted.
