After getting my car back togeather I got it to start. The Idle was poor but steady. I had to unplug the ISC motor because I am pretty sure it is bad. If I put the key in the ignition and move it to ON the motor makes funny nosies. I am sure it is the ISC because when I unplug it the noise goes away.
After some playing I got the car to run ok and my wife needed to use the other car so I decided to drive it to work.:notgood: It made it to work fine but now it wont start. I plugged my logger in and it says that MY IDC is 0% while cranking and and I have no P/W. So I am assuming no fuel. I am not sure about spark. I was thinking about replacing the CAS. Here are things I know:
I hear the fuel pump prime when I put the key in.
The Car turns over but does not start.
I have tried with both the ISC plugged in and not and had no success.
All my connections seem good.
Battery is fine and I have a brand new ALT.

Any ideas would be great I would like to get my car home.(I live 1 mile away from work.)
Thanks

After some playing I figured out that I have fuel pressure but I dont think the injectors are fireing. All the big fuses look good so I am stuck. Any ideas? I have read that the ECU could be bad. But there were no signs of the thing going out. The car ran ok then wont start. I dont get it.
 
I started taking things apart. I re soldiered the CAS plug and then took it off. With the car on I spun the CAS and Nothing..... Then I taped on it and spun it again and it worked... WTF. The car starts now but why would tapping opn the cas make it work?
 
I had the same problem my car would start but not turn over, I took it to different mechanics but no luck. I ended up taking it to a emmision tech who told me that the timing was off and one off the cylinder rings was worn out. Anyway he fixed it, that was a while ago.
