ok heres the story of my car...i got a 1991 eclipse fturbo from an owner who had blown out the head gasket on his engine. he replaced the engine with the jdm(cyclone intake) engine, and redid alot of the wiring for the motor. he later blew that motor sending the psitong through the block. after getting the car, i rebuilt the motor with the blown head gasket. i had the block, and head machined. i used the common wiseco/eagle piston combo, crower valves and springs, and just about everything on the motor has been replaced. i dropped the motor in, and hooked all the wiring up, and completely went throught every aspect of the motor, before i tried to start it. the car rolled over and barely sounded like it was going to start. i had my friend who is a master mechanic come over and he was confused as to why it wont start. i spent alot of time trying to start it also. we worked on the timing for about 4 hours, and finding that the motor is timed, and still wont start. every little thing we thought about was either right, or it was replaced if broken. ive been working on this car for 1 year now, and working on starting it up for about 5 months on and off. im stumped as to why it wont start and maybe somebody knows why, because ive read so many threads and articles, and not one has helped. ive heared that it might be the power transistor...but im not sure. if anyone might know thanks alot.
