My car will not start. Well I lied it has started 3 times and ran horribly for a few seconds and shut off. I can't even get it started again. What have I done since the last time it ran? Nothing. Last time I drove it it ran great. I went out to start it last night and the first attempt it just cranked. I tried a couple more times and it eventually fired up, but shut off almost immediately. It has good spark, fuel pressure, compression and everytime I pull the plugs they have fuel on them. This is what I've done today. Checked spark, compression test, fuel pressure(I have a gauge on the rail), timing belt(I've checked the timing and even removed the belt and lined everthing up and reinstalled the belt to make sure it didn't jump a tooth or something. This is not making any sense to me. Good compression (195 psi on 7 puffs), good spark and plugs are wet so its getting fuel. Motor is d15b2 in case anybody cares. My car is a 90' with an mpfi conversion and its boosted. Please give me some suggestions. Thanks

 

fuel/spark/ any check engines.

 

I've got good fuel pressure(42 psi on the rail). I've got good spark( pulled all plugs and cranked engine, all have spark). No codes. Engine management is zdyne secu w/dsm 450's.

 

replace spark plugs.

 

Is this a joke? There is good spark. I can see the spark jumping the gap on the plugs.

 

so you have spark/fuel no codes and the car wont start? Good luck man

 

Yes. That is why I made this thread. I have no ------- idea why my car won't start. I know it doesn't make sense since I have fuel and spark. I need some luck.

 

is it cold wehre you live? if so run some gasline antifeeze, hold the pedal to the floor and ride it out!!!

 

spray starting fluid into the manifold see if it starts

 

does it want to sound like it wants to start then u turn the key? also check fuses.
