I play on Azgalor, name is Gerix. I'm selling the car because I have to get rid of it because I don't have any time to fix it and I'm poor right now. I'm not sure what the problem is.

After I took it to te dealership, I drove it home on limp mode and it was doing okay. I thought that I had a bad MAFS, so I swapped it for a couple different ones I had picked up at the junk yard. No dice, it still didn't work. Afet awhile, the car just stopped running. Now I can't get it to start for some reason. I can get it to fire just a little to where you might think it would run, but as soon as I give it some gas, let off of the gas, or stop turning the key, it dies again. The brand new spark plugs are wet with fuel when I take them out, and they are making a good spark. Iv'e looked into torn vaccuum lines, unplugged or mixed up wires and such. The only thing that I think might be the problem is the coolant temperature sensor might have gone bad, but the car just stopped starting one day after I had been running it.

I also don't have the knock sensor hooked up, which shouldn't cause the car not to run. Anyways thats my story. I'm reall tired of working on it, but if anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Thanks, Mike

I have some new information that makes me think that my ECU might have gotten fried. Does anyone have one laying around for ultra cheap, or maybe one that they would be willing to let me borrow for a couple days?

Thanks,Mike

Are you sure your cam timing is correct? I was off a gear and was running about 15* ATDC. It would barely start and wouldn't hardly run. even at full advance I could only get it to 5*ATDC. I pulled the timing belt and put it back on, and it started right up.

Thanks, I'll have to check that out. THe guys at the dealership did the timing, so I assumed it was correct.

THanks,Mike
