90 gst when i go to start it it will crank n crank n crank like its going to start but it doesnt. the car hadnt been started in 2 months so i thoght maybe it was a dying battery but i jumped it and same thing hapend. i dont know if its the sparkplugs or what. any suggestions on how to get this thing running? thanks ahead of time
 
Well if the engine is cranking then the battery is fine, it could be spark plugs or injectors. Meaning you may not be getting spark or fuel, now when say it cranks does the motor actually move or does it just make a noise.

it makes the noise like its going to move then the motor kicks in every 2 seconds. the engine moves so you know its trying.

Ok dude don't listen to it. Look at the pullies are they turning?

I have no idea what you ment by your statement.
 
i bet your ecu caps leaked on the motherboard. pull the ecu and see of there is black residue under the caps. is so, replace them and clean the motherboard. it will also smell like rotten seafood.
 
ill also get new sparkplugs and injectors - even if i dont need them - any brand or type i should get?
