So here it is I found a 1991 eagle talon never could get it to run but the car was in great shape so I bought it anyways. So I began trouble shooting and changed the ecu cause of bad cap and then the gas and spark plugs. I cranked and cranked it and then it finalu started. However I heard this aweful sound. I began looking closer and I have no idea why or how in hell I missed this but the crank shaft pully was just hanging there spinning. I then though like OMG how could I have missed that. So I shut it down and turned it off I was happy it started, Im just hoping that they rattled out and didn't shear off the bolts. I have to get the car up in the air I have spare parts motor and pulley I just hope I can save it.

Chances are the pulley separated. Its a common issue on these engines. If that is indeed what happened just throw a new harmonic balancer on her and you will be good to go. :hellyeah:
