oh christ those both sound awful. Did you check the timing?

Hopefully someone will be able to figure out your probelm. What have you tried so far?

not sure what that is but you can test the CAS by taking it out and spinning it by hand see if the injectors click when the key is on. you can also do the same spinning gig and test the voltage between 2 pins and it should be between 1-5 or something, its in the service manual EC-111

eek that doesn't sound good please do a compression test and see what your numbers are

all 4 are clicking... i have tried checking for spark on all 4 plugs and its all blue sparks.. the injectors are working we just verified that.. i unplugged the maf to see if the car starts but there is no change.. i took out the fuel pump fuse to make sure it wasnt flooded, and it starts for 1 second and dies. it wont start with the fuse in...

one thing i did find.. was the cas only had 1 bolt, im pretty sure there was supposed to be two.. could this screw up my timing??

heres a new update.. apparently when that grinding noise goes off. theres an orange glow in the area where my starter is...

Lol It was a joke dude, I was insinuating that you should probably change it out and see if your problems persist.

Hope replacing the starter solves the problem!
