ok people, i have 2 other threads going that i thought were accurate but they are not. When i ultimately figure this all out i will add solutions to all threads....
PLEASE HELP ME PEOPLE!!!
I just dont know what else to do. I have went up and down trying to diagnose and fix this issue. The car used to run but only run really rough. Now it wont even start. Here is what i have done so far.
Changed oil and filter. Oil looked fine with the exception it was really black and had a faint odor of fuel. 5 and a half qts came out.
Changed relay in trunk to keep the fuel pump from staying on continuous after car is turned off.
When i try to start it it wants to start but wont, if i hold the pedal to floor and try it nothing. If i try it regular and give it gas as im turning it over it will backfire.
I put a brand new DIS module in. I have NO upshift light when i start, tach is fine. i have spark, i ruled out cam crank and dis.
I have one code coolant temperature sensor. they are 14 bucks im gonna put one on in a couple hours. Other than that no codes.
I took air hose off and sprayed starting fluid in there and still nothing.
I got under car and visually inspected the Hamromnic Balance as best i could, no cracks and the bolt is fine.
There is only 2 things i can think of, one i can do right now, Spark plugs, spraying the starting f;luid in there and it not starting even though i got spark at the coil dont make sense to me, it HAS to be fouled out plugs no????
Im gonna go get new plugs here in a few minutes.beyond that my most impostant question is what relays can go bad and cause the car to not start?
Would it stand to reason though that if the relay went out it would prevent ANY spark from reaching the coil right or wrong? Im just trying to theorize these issues out in my head and i am going crazy. Im getting so frustrated but i am not willing to quit yet.
I got the car 3 weeks ago, it never ran well always rough smelled of strong gas and what not, but it always started. Now it wont even do that.
Im sorry for the lenghty post gentleman but if you could point me in the right direction id appreciate it.
