No start problem. Had this issue after I blew up my last engine. It was knocking pretty bad so I parked it to clean it out and get ready for the engine swap, I lost the key, so I took out the lock cylinder and just turn the switch. After that it'd crank but never start.
So a month goes by, got the new engine in today. Got the charger on the battery, crank it over but still no start. So I pull off the CAS and spin it, the fuel injectors are clicking, and the fuel pump primes. Plugged in another coil and confirmed spark. So I try a few more times then the car acts like a short is somewhere. The car completely loses power and the charger reads 1.8 V. :confused:
I am hoping someone has had this issue before as I cannot use the search due to an error.

Got it guys. Turned out to be heavy corrosion on the pos. terminal. Car started right up! And happy to see good oil pressure with a mismatched rod cap XD
