The injectors 'shooting off of the rail' with the rail off does not confirm that they are firing. That just means that there is pressure in the rail, so you can safely assume that your fuel pump is functioning. You need to ohm/volt test the injector pigtails.
 
Don't worry about it brandon, just a personal mistake...... if the Injectors are firing it should be getting gas. stand by the driver front tire, look on the backside of the motor, almost right under the coil, there should be a pretty good size plug there, make sure its plugged in.

If your injectors are firing, take your plugs out, if they are gassy, clean them up. Try to get spark.... your timing is correct?

It really sounds like something is just mismatched, I fought that wiring shit for a while untill I got a duh moment.

Send some pics of all your plugs, we might be able to work you through it.

This should help also.

o__o why did you pick it up as a DD? It's claimed lives, ya know? Lol.

If you still need help when I get down that way, I'll muscle some time in to come look/help.
 
There's a plug behind my motor, towards the bottom, that sometimes will come unplugged and the car has trouble starting, then if it does start it likes to cut out and the speedo doesn't work. Could that be a problem that he's having?

There are a couple of things that can be plugged wrong or not at all, I seriously thought it was my MPI, but sometimes when you unplug something and don't account for a plug, or in my case don't label what it goes to it can get lost in the sauce, when I was having that no start after doing " everything I thought I could" I found a plug that had gotten lodged behind the Damn charcoal canister, plugged it up and boom! That car sat 8 months before I got a chance to work on it (even took the brain out and stuck it in my safe) I could be wrong, but I doubt the wiring could be that screwed.... post some pics or a video of a walk through of all your plugs, il try to help from there. Check your ECT also, I had to replace the ####ed plug and didn't get a chance to wire it right. (If you call crimping the "right way" anyways.)

Honestly, I don't know. I haven't had much experience with the wiring/plugs in the car so I can't say for sure. I was just throwing that idea out since it had happened to me before

It happeneds, if you have a manuall or good net connection. It makes perfect toilet reads ;).
 
I have a wiring harness for an auto. IDK if awd and fwd are diff but i got one. Also, I found a guy here in little rock who will bore and hot tank a block for $75.
 
Sooo, stopped and talked to a guy yesterday, he had a NA eclipse, he looked at me dumb when I tried explaining the difference between a 4g63 and a 420a he had a chrysler motor and dint know what the bump in hood was for, so after explaining it to him he goes on to say, well I had a 92 awd turbo and it had a talon motor in it and that's a chrysler motor! I said have a nice day....

Also guys in my class telling me he out a 2007 chevy 350 in his 90 silverado, I laughed and asked if it was carburated or FI? he said carbed....... oh and if anyone knows IF chevy made a DOHC 454 let me know, because I doubt it exist.... the shit people say sometimes! Haha....

Uggggh~ That is my dream car. And it's in Little Rock?! Why couldn't this have been here a few weeks ago?
 
He had better not turn down my offer. I will give my firstborn child for that thing.

Not the Talon, though. Never the Talon.
