My car is not driveable at the moment...don't know what the problem is, cranks but doesn't start, I think it is the igniter. The engine was rebuilt and timing belt was replaced at 189K miles. Brand new tires, battery, and fuel pump.

THANK YOU FOR ANYONE THAT HELPS

 

does it backfire when your cranking the motor?

 

do you think it is the solenoid near the MAP sensor?

 

no it does not

 

are u even getting spark?

 

you got any cel codes? check engine light?

 

no codes. no check engine light. yes when it turns over. but like i said it won't start.

 

if u know somone that has the same distibutor as u try theirs ... make sure u put it on excatly how it was on before. if its ur igniter then this will help u tell rather than taking apart the whole dizzy. while ur down there make sure your thermostat ground wire is nice and tight and isnt severed.

 

ok. lets say i put on a dizzy thats the same. what if it doesn't start? bcuz i think it is the solenoid next to the MAP sensor. bcuz a friend of mine did that and it started and ran. has anyone ever done this b4?

 

The ignitor, and the main relay are the weak links, I would check those after checking for fuel and spark.

 

^ he is right... i assume everyone checks the main relay now... this stuff happens to us EFers all the time.

 

oh yea sorry. he spliced a wire from that solenoid and hooked it up to a switch with a power wire. and when u turn on the switch with out the key in the 2 accesorie lights come on. i heard it gives constant power to the ecu and let it run. when the key is in and started you can pull the key out and they car would still be running until your flip that switch off.
