car no start. need started before winter.

ericismyname · Nov 3, 2004

I just changed out the turbo, plugs and plug wires. now the car sounded like it wanted to start once and then the sound droped to just something that is similer to if your ecu is fried and ur trien to start it (know from expeirnce LOL

). Before i swapped out the turbo the car started and ran perfect. no signs of ecu failure. The car has been sitting for quite some time though.

any ideas?

let me know if you figure it out, I have a similiar problem. Car sat for a while, now just fires a few times if at all and then dies.

this might sound stupid, but did you gap the spark plugs to specs. before you but them in?

take out the plugs and squirt fuel direclty into the cylinders, then put the plugs back and crank it and see if it runs.

take the plugs(or one plug at a time) out and check for spark by leaving the plug in the wire and touching against metal and cranking the motor.

With the results of that you will know if its fuel related or ignition related.

Be careful.
