Default NEED help with Boosted b16 Ek Hatch, car won't start....

OK I try and start the car and it just cranks and cranks and cranks, Its got plenty of fuel pressure, plenty of spark, its got gas but nothing happens. And when Im done cranking, or trying to.. the car starts making this really loud clicking sound that lasts for a while that comes from the back of the car. Iv been stumped by this for almost 4 months now and its getting nice out and Id love to drive my car again. If anyone has any tips or a combo of different things i could try Id really appreciate it.


Thanks brad

So youve had this problem for 4 months, and still havent figured it out? **** i would have posted the first day this problem happened.

Or has the car been running fine and this problem just accured and youve been boosted for 4 months?

Either way, Whats your fuel management? Also what type of injectors do you have? And did you check your ignitor, dizzy, ect. Also hows your battery?

if you have gas and spark the only thing your missing in order to make combustion is air. check your cam gears to make sure they are both lined up right. then check the sensors on the throttle body.

iv had the problem for 4 almost 5 months, Iv been posting. I don't know much about cars but my friends do but I guess they just don't have to time to help or we can never pick a time to sit down and work on the ******* thing. The car would have problems staying running when it was cold and I went out to move the car while I was at work and it started up fine and then when I went to leave after work it wouldn't start. and pulled the same crap its still doing where it trys and trys to crank and then all I get is that clicking sound comming from the back of the car

Also heres another thought since its been 5 months. Take off the turbo and see if the car could just start on its own and work from there. Just a thought.

true again another good thought. The thing that bothers me is that i never had any problems with the car and it just happend all of a sudden. And also that clicking I hear has go to have something to do with the problem since i never heard it before
