Default ******GSR CAR WONT START URGENT*******

Okay so, my car wouldnt start, it cranks but does not want to wake up it ran fine before this with no problems at all. Until about 4 days ago, when i would step on the gas pedal firmly the car would kinda get a fuel cut off and just stall for a little bit, but if i drive calm and gently press the gas pedal it will drive normally, then it got to the point where once i pressed down the throttle from an idle(warm of course)firmly it would choke and die.

Now the car doesnt even want to start i have flooded the motor with fuel(spark plugs got fuel on them) so i took them out, let the car sit for about a day and a half, changed oil, spark plugs, oil filter, cleaned the dizzy, checked the injectors which are 440cc and they still squirt fine. timing is still correct

I do get spark from cyl.1 which the color is purple/bluish even with the charger hooked to the battery but its kinda faint or thats maybe how it is? my fuel pressure reads 40-50 psi, i still get back pressure from opening the gas tank cap, the fuel pump starts up fine.

The car still doesnt start, even started it with the pedal all the way to the floor. i didnt want to crank it over 5 sec because i dont want to flood the motor again. or even more if it has not cured yet, i even tryed different ecu.

- Things i havent done but dont know if it will solve the problem: change fuel filter, ENGINE STARTING FLUID(kinda scared to use it since my motor has been flooded) different dizzy, idk about ignition coil since i have a msd external coil, rotor middle copper has been cleaned, couldnt take the rotor out because screw is stripped from previous owner, TPS sensor has been delt with, moves up and down but its pretty snug just not snug enough, map sensor but car wouldnt start others i probbaly dont know about

(THE CAR DOES NOT SHOW ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE FOR I AM RUNNING A OBD2A TO OBD1 P28 ECU)

im all out of ideas! im going crazy i need some help! thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!

will put specs of my car upon request

Perhaps failing coil or ignitor? Any spares you could use to test?

So I think I have a similar issue... but not really but close... I have a gsr b18c1 and it had a bad oil leak... on the highway two days ago I was going about 80mph when the car starting shaking more than usual I started to smell oil then I heard a loud shriek and my engine shut off... I cruised off to the shoulder and tried to crank it but no turn over. After getting it towed back to my garage I cranked and noticed only one cam is spinning the other is stuck... so I'm guessing something went wrong inside the head possibly the oil pump or valves bending completely and seizing the motor... my question now is can I save the head or am I looking at replacing the head? so far no major damage done from the outside but i didn't get a chance to look inside the head yet due to a lack of tools.. also when I checked the oil level it was dry as chip

What i've got from reading your post is that now your car cranks but doesnt fire up. First thing i would check is to make sure you can hear your fuel pump prime (making sure you got fuel) or hook up a fuel pressure gauge. Then check spark on all cyl. If both passes next is check the compression. And if all checks out, make sure your grounds are all tight and is on a good surfaces.

Could you explain that better? TPS moves up and down not snug? And MAP sensor what?

Problem solved!: it was the dizzy rotor at first i couldnt replace it because the screw was stripped so i left it alone. but unfortunetly my bro came and worked some magic and got the screw out, put in his rotor and it fired up fine. but ate up the old middle carbon coil sounded like a dam wrx for a couple minutes, but put another one in runs drives good, minor boost lag but that might be from the spark plugs gapped a little to far. thanks everyone for actually putting ur time into this!!

You probably have seized one camshaft due to no oiling. Pull the head it needs work get someone to inspect the cylinder walls for damage--fix oil leaks quick in the future would be my thoughts.

To the OP I have had that rotor gone bad issue on 2 different cars glad you got it fixed I try to be better with my tune ups verses miles driven lol
