serious car won't start problems
My car has been down over 3mo. And I’m lost as to what could be wrong. Here’s what happened.
Picked my car up after work drove home as normal, parked in the garage and turned off the ign and let the turbo timer turn off the car. Came back about 30 mins later to go to the store and the car would crank but not start.
first thing to find out if it’s a no fuel or no spark situation. Plenty of fuel no spark.
Things I’ve done
1. check plugs, ok but replaced anyway
2. swap dizzy with known go dizzy
3. replaced cap and rotor
4. replaced blaster ss coil
5. check msd for spark per their instructions, check out good but decided to remove msd to get ign system as close to stock as possible.
6. Pulled timing covers verified timing and checked crank angle sensor, measured resistance whick checked out good and cleaned sensor and pullies.
7. Measure resistance back at the ecu for crank angle sensor and that was good
8. Measured the resistance on msd wires good
9. I’’m running an aem ems so I ‘m able to change coil drivers which didn’t do it
10. Gave my buddy my ecu and it started his care so ecu is good
11. Ign switch was never replaced on a recall so replaced that.
I think that’s it. If anyone can figure out anything that I haven’t covered please chime in .
Thanks.

1-put your dizzy on another car see if its starts, if it did then you have a problem somewhere between your dizzy & ECU.
2-disconnect your turbo timer and check.
