gp90se Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Ever wanted 2 shoot a car, well if i had a .45 this thing would be outta my misory. Turn the key, Vroom, then dies, wont turn over again, no spark. Changed the crank sensor and IAC (again). Vroom, starts, dies, wont restart. Ive done the TPS, IAC, coil packs/modual, FPR, crank sensor. WHATS FN NEXT???? EDIT: anyone wanna trade this thing for a geo metro hatchback?

slick Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Did you check all of your connections? Fuel pressure good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gp90se Posted August 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 pump is brand new, plenty of fuel at the rail, like i said, no spark. looked over for a loose wire, nuthing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hell, i would disconnect and re-connect the connectors. Also, maybe one of the wires is frayed or cut somewhere, which would be a bitch to track down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1kicker Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I would say timing, but I don't think it's adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gp90se Posted August 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 that was 1 of my first thoughts, but i have no spark, so i doubt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareGMFan Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Have you tried disconnecting the sensors one by one and starting the car? The TPS, crank sensor, etc.? It's not exactly unheard of to get a bad brand new part, you know. :shock: Otherwise, I would have to agree that you possibly may have some wiring short issues.

TurboGTU Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I remebered someone having a simmilar problem..but turned out to be a bad map sensor...flooding the engine. But you said you have no spark. Are you 100pecent sure :?: Did you check the Igni coil fues with a light bulb probe? How about the ecm fuse? Is the thing giving truble codes? Also...try the prime test. Crank it and if it starts and dies like always...turn the key completly off...then wait a minute. then crank it again. If it starts again...then dies. Then theres something wrong with the fuel pump prime circuit. Try hotwireing the fuel pump on. OK now start the car...it should say on. If not...Try a ALDL scan. I would recomend this first...but I don't think you have ALDL scanner??? You could pull the codes still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gp90se Posted August 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 checked for spark with a light, ECM fuse, no codes, and i had the fuel pump hardwired. Anyone got an ALDL wire they wanna let me borrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFromColorado Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 we had this problem on my old regal, granted, it's not a turbo, hell, it wasn't even a 3.1 - it was just the 2.8 but it had the "DIC" fuse under the hood, we replaced tons of things, till we tracked it down to that. I've also seen where you may have a crimp, or blockage in one of the lines itself, that may be somethin' to look into as well - after you get the spark situation done. --DaveFromColorado.
