[RESOLVED] This Newbie needs help!! My car is not running!!

[Executionerhk]

Hello to all masters!

I really need all the helps I can get to get my car running again!! I love my DSM 1G very much. And here is the story.

I got this car from my cousin, it is a 1990 Plymouth Laser RS 5spd Turbo. He is the first owner. Car has about 115000k, he claim that timing belt and water pump is changed.
Before I first get it, it had been sitting under a tree for about 1 year. When I first drove it, it has some bad burning smell... donno what it is but it run a way after couple days.

1 week later, the clutch is out... so I have a shop replacing it. And they said my ECU is bad too... so I have it replace along with the clutch. I donno if they install it right, but anyway now I have 1 in the car 1 in the trunk.

This is what happen before it broke down. It has been running about 12-13 mpg daily driving on local street... not enough power, and pull... no power what so ever going up hill... high RMP the engin has no noise... seems running ok... I had another friend take a look at it about the fuel problem when I went to Austria over the summer for 3 months... (people now tell me he just claim he knows about car, but not really) when I came back, people said he did nothing but my car is not working no more. The fuel pump relay is out... the small thing by the ECU next on the passenger side fire wall... I took that apart, 1 wire is missing so I think that is reason why the car crank but not starting... now I have a good part from junk yart still the car crank but not starting.
Where can I buy a good part? Do you know what part I am talking about? anyone know why my car burning so much gas and why it is not running now?

Please help, I want my 1G running like a champ again!!

First I would do a boost leak test. you can make a boost leak tester. just look up boost leak test on google. Or someone may have a webpage for you. I am confused when you say the car is cranking but not starting. I think you mean it turns over but it does not start up. am I correct?

Update guys...
someone come checked my car...
he looked at it and found no gas going to the engine...
turn out someone destroy the plug of the car to the fuel pump...
that is why nothing is working...

Good to hear you got it fixed. Thanks for posting the solution. Just for clarification, what did you mean by this?

"...turn out someone destroy the plug of the car to the fuel pump..."

I had trouble understanding that. Do you mean to say that the electrical connector [plug] for the fuel pump was damaged somehow?

This Guys Crazy maybe he should speak some mandarin chinese to me and I can narrorate. Ne-How

 

[Executionerhk]

ok a bit more problem...
yes connector is damaged,
he changed a fuel pump for me...
but he also add a external wire in order to make the car start again... after he installed a fuel pump...
i donno what is wrong... because it still won't start even with the new pump until he wire something up...

does it have the fuel pump rewire kit?
