May I ask how you checked for fuel and spark?

Lets start there and work our way around, shall we?

[GnarKiller]

just to let everyone know this is not my first ball game, im just a little stumped?

Checked spark with the spark plus wire and a spark plug, and i know have fuel because of the spark plugs were covered with it..

problems before this happend is that the car smoked a little (think its is the rings) and when the accelerator was fully depressed the car wanted to struggle.

heres the situation....

took of some parts like the front bumper (needs core support) the a/c fan was meesed up so i took it off the extra air box on the s13 i took off and the fan shroud. drove it to my friends (right down the road, ran alot better) turned it off then it wouldn't start back up from there (had to push it back myself)

Anypossible suggestions?!?!?!?!

did you mess up the Mass Air Flow Sensor?

[FliMSiCaL]

is this the de or e were talkin about here? Check all your wiring that runs in the vicinity of the fan shroud, some of those (distributer harness) that run there are critical to car operation. try letting the plugs dry off, making sure all wiring connectors are tight, and no fuses got blown.

[GnarKiller]

i thought it might be the mass early when it would run but bog down.... but now it wont even try to fire up....

All the wiring is good.

You can try to shoot some ether/starting fluid in there.But too much will crack your piston.Does it at least turnover?

[GnarKiller]

yes it does turn over just not one sight of firing up...

well, Gnarkiller, I am sorry about thinking this was your first "game", but if you have problems starting up, it is only because of two reasons.

Either you dont have enough spark, or you dont have enough fuel. I would try looking to see exactly how strong the spark is in your spark plugs, this would appear to be the case since you have fuel covered plugs...

[GnarKiller]

i was just messing with you. i just wanted you to know that i am not a newb and i somewhat know what im doin. im just a little stumped right know....

okay. I could help in real time on AIM if you would log on to the service.

Also, what codes are coming from the computer?

[tiger]

so you're gettin fuel and gettin spark? Do you smell a lot of fuel? Take out the fuel pump fuse (or have someone else do it and you try and start the car) if it starts up have someone replace the fuse asap and if that works.. i would take a peek at your Engine Coolant Temp Sensor.. mine did that when I first got it and the wires were frayed so i fixed it and it's good to go now.
