2G Crank no start

[MasterMatt209]

When I crank the car it is now a strong turning over of the engine after changing the starter. I can smell fuel and I checked spark. I know the car is fuel injected but if I move the gas pedal in a sweet spot sometimes the car almost starts. What does this mean?

If the car was running fine before changing the starter, then should re-check if you connected back all connector /cables. All ground cables, too. Also check if you didn't damage wirings for sensors, such as for CAS, water temp sensor etc. If the car was not running before then there are several possibilities that cause no-start issue. But sounds like wrong ignition timing or wrong valve timing which is spark plug cables are connected to wrong cylinders. or the timing belt is not set correctly.

When did it stop starting, did you just go outside one day and it wouldn’t fire? Is it after you replaced something?

Unplug your injectors, your flooding the engine, dont plug them back in until you get the fuel out of the cylinders and clean dry plugs. You might want to buy a new coolant temp sensor at this point, and Im referring to the ecu temp sensor, and not the gauge sensor, there are two different ones.

Where can I get that sensor?

Went out one morning it was like -11 out and it would fire over. After a lot of troubleshooting pulled the started and had it tested and it was bad so I replaced but it may have burned it from me cranking over. But still no start

Was running fine one night then the next morning it wasn’t. The post above this explains a little more. Plugs are all good I never messed with any of that

Autozone, Oreilly, Napa, etc etc.

try the neutral safety switch its a relay autozone 35.00 fix

Did you start a new thread? Do not do that.

Let’s say worst case, the car jumped time. What am I looking at? Pistons and valves? How much would it cost to fix. I have money to spend I just want to know what I would need to buy. I think I’d just like to go stock spec on it I don’t plan on doing anything crazy to it maybe a 16g someday. I know a guy with a shop who specializes on 4g63s he has a built 1g so atkeast I know the job should be done right.

Also the car is currently at a shop now to see what’s really wrong

I'd look into the coolant temp sensor.
