Hi all.
Where to start....
The car is a 98 Gst. Car was running a few years ago and now it won’t start. It has some work done to it after motor has been rebuild and some bolt on upgrades. Engine is 7 bolt. All work done and now it won’t start
The car initially fired up for a few seconds when put back together and then cut off. Cylinders 1 & 4 no spark. All cylinders have fuel.
I’ve replaced Cas, coil packs, power transistor. No luck starting. The wiring harness is hacked up at the power transistor so I believe this to be the culprit. Some poor connection/ ground etc. 1 & 4 won’t fire at all.
I have since purchased an entire engine wiring harness for 98 gst fwd (manual transmission.)
I have not had much luck with electrical and was wondering if any pros are located in the SE Michigan area and can lend a hand with this sometime in the next few weeks? *When things start to reopen etc. Car has been sitting for 3 years since the last time tried to fire it up and troubleshoot.
I have taken the car to two general mechanic shops over the years and no dice. Looking for someone who is a pro or really knows these cars and could trouble shoot or potentially help with a rewire if needed. Stock engine harness replacement if necessary.
If someone can help out let me know, I can pay for time troubleshooting.
thanks in advance for any advice.
