so im thnking about buying another 1g because its so cheap.. but the problem is it doesnt start..

he says he had it fixed and running for 2 weeks then it stalled and wouldnt start again.

but anyways i just wanted to know if you guys have any ideas of whats wrong? have you heard of a problem like this before?

heres what the ad says:

This is a 1991 Egale Talon AWD Turbo. Car DOES NOT START. Work done - All belts replaced, new head with upgraded lifter to remove ticking noise (common issue with original lifters). Leather interior, A/C, Power Steering, Power 4 wheel disk brakes, Power windows. Tinted windows. Car was fixed and was running for 2 weeks. It stalled while driving and could not get it started again. Do not have the time to have it fixed for selling as is. Engine and Tranny alone worth the price of the car. I suspect the issue could be electrical but not engine related. Car has an Alpine/Soundstream stereo worth originally over $2500 with installation. Will include with the car.

thanks guys, any input would be appreciated ;)
 
Buy that S*** you cant pass that deal up running or not. Does the car try and turn over? does it act like its not getting fuel cause thats where id start. Look into the CAS if its off it will cause a wide variety of problems. It cant be to big of an issue if the car just shut off. But if it seized up that would be a problem. Go over look at the car and turn the crank(remove spark plugs first) by hand to see if its seized or if you feel resistance/grinding. If not the motor should be good and id look into spark/fuel. Either way pick that car up LOL.

Hey, im parting out my eagle talon, the balance shaft bearing just went, i dont have time or money to repair it, so if u want part read the list below, engine itself is fine, the balance shaft bearing just went so thats the only thing that need to be fixed but come by and take parts u need or want for a price.the talon is in good condition, it has little rust on both front fenders, but nothing someone cant fix, just put on a new winter tires(front) about 5 months ago, also new water pump and water pipe, has boost, oil pressure, water temp, voltage, AFR, oil temperature guages, i had to disconnect all the gauges except the boost gauge, because cops kept pulling me over due to the bright lights in the cab, it has a BIG 16G turbo 1 month old, also felpro metal head gasket, and felpro valve cover gasket, NGK plugs and NGK plug wires, has a FueLab AFPR with all new fuel feed and return lines, has new 450CC injectors, new timing belt, new oil filter, new fuel filter, all new turbo gaskets and bolts, 255 L/H walbro fuel pump, after market steering wheel, new stock axles and clutch and flywheel, also comes with spare head with used briann crower OEM cams, and also spare stock cams, also has a boost controller, the talon is currently running 12psi.

gonna check that one out too, but he said he has a guy coming to look at it. so hopfully he still has it by tomorrow!

edit: he sold the 16G already
