What could be the casue of my problem. I put another motor in my talon tsi from a 98 GSX motor with about 50K. This weekend i was driving to my girls in bailtimore and on the way i saw a red 93 talon and we went at it. I dont beat my car but i like to have run everyonce and a while. So i probably as fast as 120. The car the next day wouldnt start ! Its cranks hard and it wants to kick over but just wont turn !! any clues ??


my car as of now in at a goodyear in another state !!!!!! :cry: :cry:

Head gasket, first guess.

Why did you even bother guessing rofl... He did not give us enough info to do anything but pick our asses.
 
Fouled plugs, bad wires, faulty ECU, burnt valves, bent valves, blown head gasket, no gas, water in gas, blown fuses, faulty cas, dirty fuel filter, clogged or leaky injectors, weak fuel pump, bad ignitor assembly, bad wiring harness, intake leak, etc etc etc.
 
did u overrev it? This actually happened to me once. By accident i downshifted into first doing like 45 and i overrevved it. It ran fine for the rest of the day, but then the next morning it did not start. I took it to the dealership and i found out my timing belt skipped two teeth and my timing was off.
