I have a 91 laser 2.0ln/t just got a motor rebuilt and put it in it started ran fine but idled at 1800.Now the car won't start at all not even on ether plugs are wet put new ones in still nothing checked and there is spark don't know what to look at next thanks for any help
 
The next thing you need to check is to see if you are getting fuel. If you are then maybe a compression test? Need more info to see what you did in order to help out. Also for the fuel you could check by turning the key to the "on" position, and you should hear your fuel pump or the relay click.
 
I have had four dsm's, two talon's and two laser's. on two of the laser's, the CAS(cam angle censor) went out and the car wont start. I would check into that. It seems to be a pretty common problem with dsm's check into that and get back to me if it works.

i agree... same thing happened to me...
 
I seem to be having the same issue. I wasnt sure about fuel so I replaced the pump, lines, and bought an AFPR and that was a no go. Then I decided to get an ecu with dsmlink to see if it helped out or at least pointed me in the right direction. Now im thinking the CAS, i have one on the way.
 
tried new cas no good took the line off the fuel filter there is fuel took all the spark plugs out and hooked them up and their all firing it cranks fine and sort of seems like it wants to start not a cough but like its trying also tried new wires and plugs i don't understand it ran fine the other day and it was just rebuilt by a good race engine builder ran fine besides the high idle i'm still tryin

maybe the ecu?

checked the timing it was out. the motor has a balance shaft elimanator kit ang the bolt that used to hold the idler pulley fell out and went through the crank gear therefore no start i still dont know why it idles at 1800rpm any help with this would be appreciated thanks
 
I've just got my new CAS and installed it, its still a no go for me, Im thinking coolant temp sensor next.
 
riceys... how many teeth did the belt skip when the bolt fell out?
