It's not cranking? Slow cranking? Being homosexual in general?

Re: Car wont start ??? + **** bloopers
are you sure the injectors are firing? pull the fule rail (with injectors still in it), have someone crank the car over(unplug your distributor beforehand), and you watch to make sure fuel is coming out of all four injectors. Have you checked the timing on it yet?

Re: Car wont start ??? + **** bloopers
One make sure you have spark at all 4 cylinders not just one
starters can be weak and still turn. This is usually due to an eletrical issue. I fried one when I was setting up my push button. Used to thin of a guage of wire. It would turn but very slow eventually killing the starter
Some basics
you have fuel at all 4 cyliders
spark at all 4
It will run no matter what even with every code in the book.
I would go through the car clean all the grounds and especially pay attention to the starter ground. Ill beat that its rusted to pieces
Finally compression test you should see 150's+ on an old d15 with mucho mileage any lower its pretty beat

i got a starter from a guy on here, ill get to wrok tomarrow..

Re: Car wont start ??? + **** bloopers + updates ya'll
well the starter i got wasnt an automatic starter but i ------- put it in anyways and it fit/worked, etc.. car still didnt start but spun better and sqweak started coming from one of the belts...
in the end i loosened up the alternator and tried starting it and it fired right away, obviously whining like a bitch.. but then smoking like a bon fire, it was real bad, funny though.. anyways i have an alternator coming so ill swap er out.. thanks for the advice.. bet ya haven't seen this..
