So I recently acquired a '95 Eagle Talon with a rebuilt JDM engine, and it has been quite temperamental so far. It also has a small 16g turbo in it so i was told and has MSR rims and sport tires. Since I've had it, I had to put the timing belt on. I made sure I did it properly. I replaced the old spark plugs which were black. replaced the spark plug wires which seemed like they had seen better days. I started it up and ran it for a while. I found some exhaust leaks and found the oil pan had not been secured properly and was leaking. I fixed it and stared it again. Drove it to the gas station and filled it with a full tank of 91 octane. When I got back in, long story short, it cost me a tow truck and being over an hour late to work and quite a headache. Once I got off work, I got in the car, put the key in, and it fired up no problem. The next day, yesterday, I started it in the morning, drove it around the block, parked it, turned it off, waited about 10 minutes, started it again, and let it run for about 30 minutes and turned it off. Then last night, I got in to see if i could take it for a little drive, and it would not start again. I tried for a while and it sounded like it wanted to start up, but just wouldn't. This morning, I tried to start it again and it did not even sound like it was trying to stay started this time. Since then, there she has sat. I did however find out that my air box has no filter or ANYTHING in it. Also, before anyone comments on this, I did make sure I have fuel and spark as soon as I had problems. But anyway, here she is:
