my car was running and now it wont start

[krysko8]

i took out my 92 talon awd out for a quick drive around the block and then i came and parked it back. 3 days after that i went to start it and it would turn over but would not start. i tryed to start it till the battery died. i did a comprsion test and im getting good compresion..i changed the spark plugs...cheked the ecu for any kinks or things like that. can anyone try to give me some ideas?? thnx

See if you have spark, see if your getting fuel... go from there

 

[krysko8]

it says that i have 28psi of fuel pressure good or bad??

 

[talonESturbo]

your cam sensor mite be bad if its bad it wont start.

 

[krysko8]

is there any way that i can check if the cam sensor is bad or not??

 

[krysko8]

i also noticed that my oil temp guage in my dash goes all the way up till it peaks and the car is not even runing? mayb something elsectrical???

Take your ecu out and open it up to see if it fried.

Try Checking the Coolent temp sensor, My car did something like this when it was unplugged. Maybe yours is bad, Without it the car CPU thinks its -32 Degrees and will make it REAL hard to start and run. This also may be why the Temp guage is flakey and giving a bad reading.

YES and there is also a ECU ground that causes this alot on my 1g as well and its simple.

There is a way to check them you put them in a dish of hot water then cold water then check them.

but check the basics first Please

i cheked for spark today and im getting no spark what so ever. no spark at the distributor.

 

[95TalonOwner]

Distributor? You must mean coil pack because there is no distributor on your car.

 

[krysko8]

yea my bad thas what i ment

 

[Eastwood95]

No spark could mean bad MPI relay or bad Cam/Crank Angle Sensor. If you don't have a Haynes manual, now would be a perfect time to buy one. It will tell you how to check both of those parts......

 

[roadrunner2176]

Have you checked to see if your getting a signal to your coil? No signal makes this a likely case for a cam or crank sensor. Its difficult to test the cam sensor being that it only works when the engine is running. Check the harness to the sensor and to the coil pack.

how did you check to see if you are getting spark or not?

 

[krysko8]

i cheked with one of those volt meters.

Give me details on how you did it.

I could be wrong, but when i was having issues with my ignition. we pulled out a spark plug put the wire on it, held it wtih some plyers and grounded it out to the frame. We then made sure you could see the spark on each plug.

just make sure you pull the fuse for the injectors so they dont fire.

my friend was the one using the volt meter...i was starting the car...we first cheked the plugs..we took out the sparkplug and layed it down on the head..then ill try to start it and nothin...not a spark..so then he cheked it with the volt meter, and nothin no current.

Sounds like the transistor pack. The little guy under the coil pack on the intake manifold.

You've got to make sure you ground the threaded part of the spark plug. We touched it to the engine mount.

hey guys after a long time of having the car sit around i had it looked at by mike rizzotti (hes been racing talons for 11 years) and he found out that it was the ecu all along. thnks for the help.
