Done my homework so far. Picked up a 92 Laser RS Turbo AWD 5 Speed for $300. Girl said it stopped starting after it got cold. Replaced the coolant sensor and pigtail, verified proper reading there, still nothing. Checked for spark and its there. Removed the fitting and have proper pressure going to the fuel rail. Pulled an injector and tested with NOID light. It doesn't pulse at all when cranking, but as soon as you stop cranking, it kicks on once. Pulled the ECU and replaced the caps (2 of which were leaking). Checked all the leads and traces and all seems to place properly and w/in spec. Ran a compression check (though its been sitting for a while), showed 190+ on all 4 cold. Tested the Cam sensor and replaced, once again to no avail.

Im wondering if my coolant sensor is still bad and causing this problem, or if its a toasted computer. I can't pull codes because the battery had been disconnected for over a month. She said that her brother had said it needed a coolant sensor?

Also wondering if the timing belt could have slipped a few teeth, knocked it out of timing and is causing some weird ass problem that I cant think of.

ANY POSATIVE INPUT WOULD HELP!!!!

freaking dsm =(
 
If your looking to get a good ecu job I would suggest motoguys ecu.just send in your core and about $200 and you have a spanking new piece.not sure on exact website but just google it they'll come up
 
Hey OP, if you're getting 190psi per cylinder on a 92 6-bolt, I'd be wondering WTF is going on. Stock compression on 1st gens is only 162s from the factory.

RE: the crank position sensor... there is NOT a separate crank position sensor on the 92 6-bolts. Just a cam angle sensor.
