Do you have you have any codes or fouled plugs.

Just check the "activate fuel pump" box under the "misc" tab and the fuel pump will run continuously.
90 PSI on a compression test is really low, even cold.
Air, fuel, spark. You likely don't have one of the three. Which of these is not present?
Took most of August off to do stuff, since I'm getting sick of this car.
Put all the E10 fuel I had into the car. The fuel gauge reads more then 1/2 a tank. Hurray, that's working.
Installed BPR6ES spark plugs (OEM, 1 hotter then what I had the car running on) Still no start.
Pulled catalytic converter, and installed the straight pipe. No blockage, still no start.
Pulled turbo timer + it's harness. Still no start.
Pulled Cam Angle Sensor 6-bolt adapter harness, and tested for continuity. Passed.
The gauge on the AFPR is hovering at ~50psi when cranking, and if I check off activate fuel pump, the pump whirls away, so the pump is fine.
I can physically see spark, but I don't think I'm getting enough.
I did extend the wires on the harness to move the power transistor, and used larger wire, twisted, soldered and shrinked. I did test the transistor itself, and it passed. I'm going to check the wiring.
I'm pretty sure it's one of the following:
Harness in the car.
Alternator (tested good at Partsource before installing)
Screw type quick disconnect battery ground terminal. I'm going to find a real terminal and hook it up.
Or test the coolant temp sensor for the ecu. I know that will make it not start but will still have spark and fuel but to much fuel. Lol

Yes, or make it run terrible. Ive ran into that problem on two of these cars so far. Put the new one in and bam runs likes it did before.Interesting.....so a coolant temp sensor fail will cause the car not to start?
Mine would flood like every 5th start. Sometimes it would flood just starting if it didn't catch right away. I had to unplug the fuel pump and let it lean out before it would start, the first time I didnt realize I could just pull the pump, I actually took the plugs out and dried the engine out. Then I thought maybe it would dry it out just cranking without fuel. It also ran too hot.. so yeah will run terrible with any issue going on with the temp sensor.Yes, or make it run terrible.
