LONG VERSION:

Ok, so for some background info, in late April as I was pulling out of my garage after doing some basic maintenance work on my 94 gsr, I turned the wheel to the right to drive up the driveway, the driver's side front end suddenly crashed down on my wheel.

Fortunately, the wheel was alright with the exception of a few scratches, but when it came down, the fender was crushed up on my tire. Without much inspection, I had assumed the half shaft fell out of the hub as I was turning, since my half shaft had been giving me suspicion for a few months before.
And unfortunately, when I was pulling out of the garage, I was doing so with the intention of driving the 450 miles back to school. I had no choice but to call someone to pick me up so I could get back to school by alternative means.

It had been a month since it happened, and I finally finished up with finals last week and came back to fix the car. I had a half shaft on the way to me (props to turbodav for the part). At this point since I did not have the part yet, I removed the fender and hammered it out, since when it came down on the wheel, I could no longer open the door or the hood.

The next day I was preparing to get to work on the half shaft which was coming later that day, when I noticed a bolt sitting on the ground that I had completely missed on my first inspection. I found the culprit was actually my ball joint from which the bolt fell, so I replaced the ball joint, and in the process I had to replace my driver's side caliper since the piston seized up over the month I was gone.

So after that, the car was rolling again and all it took was a charge of the battery and the car started right up as it always does.
Later on in the day, I hopped in my car to drive down the street to Ace Hardware to pick up some CLR for the nasty rust stains on my rear quarter panels. As I got back in the car, it again started right up, but then as I was pulling out of the lot and shifting into second, the car flat-out died on me.

Tried staring it again, it turned over, but did not fire.

So then I pushed the ****er back to my garage and took a look around. I figured it would either be fuel or spark causing the problem, so I went to work on both since it was a good time to change some parts out anyway.

I replaced the fuel filter first, and checked to make sure I was getting pressure from the pump. Everything was in fine working order, but again, the car was turning over, but not firing.
After, I went to the gas station down the street and got 3 gallons of gas since I figured maybe the gas needle stuck and I just ran out of gas.

Again, turned over, didn't fire.

After that, I went to the spark. I tested the spark plugs, and I wasn't getting a spark. After a bit more testing I found the coil had fried. So I replaced the coil and the spark plugs.
After that, I tested the spark plugs again, and the spark was back.
Yet still, I went to start the car and got the same result.

After that, I checked my compression, and the numbers were solid across the board.

So with great fuel flow, great spark, and great compression, my car still isn't starting.
Keep in mind it had sat for a month beforehand, so I'm trying to figure out what else it could be. Could this be due to moisture in the fuel line? I really have no idea. My timing should be perfect, so I am really at a loss.



SHORT VERSION:

Car (94 gsr) sat in my driveway for a month due to a bad ball joint.

Got the car rolling again, started up with no problem.

Car shut down on me while shifting into second gear pulling out of a parking lot.

Replaced the fuel filter and I have great fuel pressure.

Wasn't getting a spark and found the coil was fried.

Replaced the coil and spark plugs

Now I have spark again and good fuel flow.

Tested the compression. Compression is good, too.

Still the car turns over but will not fire.

...I'm out of ideas.



If anyone can help me out and give me some ideas I would greatly appreciate it. I've got time to figure it out since I took another car back to school for the week and I will be driving back to fix my gsr next weekend.

Thanks for looking.

 

This is what the car looked like when it first dropped after being jacked up

 

Would there be any possibility that the new plugs, filter, and coil would cause programming issues with the ecu?

 

I am a little confused, you said you checked for fuel pressure and found it to be good but still had a problem so you went and got more gas, if you had good fuel pressure why would you need gas??

So the question is how do you know, [test for] you have good fuel pressure?

Can you hear the fuel pump prime the fuel system when the ign. key is turned to ON?

How good is the spark, how far will it jump and what color is it?

You also said the timing was good, did you check it? 94

 

sounds like timing or main relay u should do what the guy above me saids and answer those questions it will help fig out ur problem

 

check grounds*tranny, thermostat, valve cover. also check terminals.

 

are the plugs wet from gas after trying to start it.

 

Try a new distributor. good luck

 

hey man have you checked all your fuses in the car and under the hood sounds like a fuse under the hood to me

 

Always start with the basics and this^^^^^ is a good place to start....

 

get a new car
