So my Spyder (view "MissSpyderGST's" vehicle profile for her mods) is having a strange no crank issue. The "sorta" part of it is because when we replaced certain parts, she would start up just fine and run fine, like nothing was wrong and it was fixed, until she sat over night and then, no start up from attempting to crank. If the following part allowed her to start, I'll put an asterisk following that part. We have replaced: fuel pump, MPI relay, ECU, fuel filter*, fuel rail with injectors and FPR*, fuel injector resistor pack, spark plugs*, coolant temp sensor, [idle air control valve], checked all coils on the COP, made double sure the plugs were gapped properly, took TB off to clean (needed it really bad) and [bypassed the FIAC], did a boost leak test which was sealed extremely well, as the BISS screw flew out, replaced the BISS Screw and o ring and I'm sure I may be forgetting something/s. The reason for the brackets around the FIAC and IAC is because when she was running great after the fuel filter, she had idle surge, so we thought the car was fixed after that, as she cranked up and started just fine after several attempts, and even after sitting for a couple of days. Now we are back at square one and have no idea what else to check for. The fuel filter seemed very promising! The fact she sat overnight several days and cranked right up left me with a lot of hope. Now, she's back to that slow and agonizing crank up, and doesn't start again. We also drained the fuel and replaced it with clean, new, premium. Still nothing. The only other thing I can really think of that we haven't full on replaced would be the TB, but idk if that would even fix the issue. I tested a part of the O2 sensor (ohms between two of the pins) and it seems to be within spec and fine. I haven't really found another thread that seemed to be like this issue, so I was hoping if anyone had a good idea as to what's going on.
The partial rebuild of the cylinder head I did earlier this year (mods on profile) and followed all instructions to a T. She had a few problems after that "rebuild" and those have been fixed, so I'm not sure if these new problems are a result of what I've done or because she's just being stubborn and doesn't wanna run for me (being the typical DSM she is and decided to come up with a new issue for me). Help, please! Hubby and I are OUT of ideas.
