'95 NT Talon won't start!

[duckman1]

My son has a 1995 NT Talon, he broke his foot so it has been sitting for about five weeks. He called me and said it wouldn't turn over, had his step dad charge the battery, reinstalled, calls and says it still won't turn over. I'm thinking a little rust on the starter shaft or something. One of his buddies shows up that has gone to a tech school, he says the car turns over fine, but won't start. ( seems junior thought that not turning over meant not starting, simply not actually turning over) They said it fired once, but not again. His buddy then said he took the vacuum line off the FPR and that it had fuel in it, and it was leaking around the FPR. He thinks it's the fuel pressure regulator, any thoughts? Also, i've searched, and since my son live over an hour away, I would like to know how this comes off. The pics I've found have shown it is bolted on, both kids say there are no bolts, and my local parts store has to special order to get one in.

Thanks,

Steve

it could be 1 of many problems. did they check the timing belt? take each sparkplug out and look at it he might have bent/broke off a valve in the combustion champer which causes the motor to pretty much lock up so the starter wont be able to turn it over. if that checks out change the map sensor and or the cam angle sensor they usually cause the car to eather run like crap or not run at all. it could also be the coil pack/plug wires hope that helps
