yessterday i got a new bov. greddy type s. put it on there. my car started up fine. drove fine. put it in the garage and called it a night. today this morning i decided to start it up. i heard a noise while starting it so i stopped. thinking "wtf was that?" opened the hood. checked belts. everything looks good. tried to start it up again but no start. just cranks..i havent checked for spark or fuel because i dont know how to do that. so any suggestions?
 
hi did you fixed your car ? i need help with mine im having exact same problem i have spark and fuel i have checked everything and the car won't burn fuel when cranking

what was your problem meaby this will give me some ideas
 
Well the 3 things that are needed for a car to run are compression, fuel, and spark. If you are missing one of them then it will not start.
 
well everything sims to be ok car wasn't driven day before that happend i just took my car from the garage for 1 hour and i left it running but was verry cold outside minus 6c so i parked my car back in the garage and i went home after 2 days went to the garage again to start my car and i just couldn't

i have spend 6 days trying to figure out whats wrong with it but no luck

fuel pump is working fine ou can hear the sound of it i fuel goes to injectors i took the hose out and i put it in to the botlle and my brother cranked the car half botlle was filled up by fuel
than i checked injectors they have pulse and sparks are wet even you can smell the fuel in the cylinders so i ought might be something with the spark i unscrew all sparks put a litlle bit of fuel on them and i lay them on valve cover and i cranked they did fire up i mean they burned the fuel
but when you put the sparks back to the head they don't fire up


so i tought it might be an ecu right now im looking at ecu if any one has ecu with these numbers let me know 5269656

car spec eclipse 420a 95 manual transmision

the car is turboed

and im sorry for my language im from europe :)
