Alright guys im trying to get this car started, it wont start, there is good spark and i believe there is fuel but, the weird thing is i disconnected the fuel line to see if there was fuel coming out when i turn on the ignition, the fuel pump doesnt prime, it only spits fuel when cranking the engine. Is that normal? I have read a lot about the cas failing, could that be a problem? Also my wires look to be broken going to the ect sensor or temp gauge not sure which one it is but i see three wires, will that stop the car from getting fuel or not allowing the injectors to spray, or could those broken wires just not let the car start at all.

Thanks

anyone? I'll try to get some pics up here, i see three broken wires, and i see one sensor that has broken wires under where u put the antifeeze in, where the other sensors are aswell. Is this holding the car back from starting?
 
to check if your getting fuel, crank your car for a while and take out one of the spark plugs and see if they are wet with fuel, and those wires could be to your coolant sensor which i belive could cause no starting...
 
fixed the wires, and it still does not fire, it shoots flames out the heads but doesnt have enough combustion, i think this engine is shot, i am going to look for a new one
