ECU might be worth looking at if it persists to not start up. Even if the ECU isn't the problem, it's still good to know how everything is running.

So did you pull your rail and see if your spraying? Or take a test light around and check all vital power? Like Injectors, igniter chip, coil packs, ecu, fuel pump, if all of those have power, you might have a bad crank or cam position sensor.

Very good Idea. Also list what you have troubleshot already so you dont waste time on peoples suggestions that youve already tried.

i dropped my car off at Russ aka dang drifters, and hes going to get it up and running because i honestly ran out of things to try and with my lack of knowledge i thought it would be best to let someone with experience figure it out, so hopefully ill have it back this week or next week and i can fit all the aero and more.

I dig it. naysayers will always be there... so don't sweat em and take the criticism constructively. I bought my first 240 at 14 with a blown motor and auto tranny, then decided i didn't want that POS, bought another s13 with a blown motor/shit interior/5spd/aircraft stripped paint (half the car... dunno what the prev owner was smoking) and built one decent car out of the two. Keep up the work, glad to see youngster enthusiasts building rides... just dont wreck/crush it. lol

i really dont see how having a sr as a "1st car" is bad. Its reliable, and not exactly fast(not trying to step on anyones feet here), but lets be real, they aren't. I know my 1st car was making well over 300hp and I did just fine. Then again the car was an auto, so its kinda hard to be a jackass in an auto.

It's kind of like if a clearly distinguishable white power skin head (MechanicalMoron) walked into a Harlem barbershop (this thread) and began preaching white power in hopes that one day someone in the barber shop will agree with his infinite Aryan wisdom.

Granted you may have a valid point at times, even people who will support the same notion, but in the end, you're just a dick. You don't see anyone calling the people who share the same views as you an asshole, because they aren't condescending pricks who are trying to prove a point that they're butt hurt that the OP only took your advice earlier in the thread with a grain of salt and went another route.

Well, he's obviously doing it wrong, and needed to try something new. This guy he went to isn't going to know some secret shit that zilvia doesn't. There's an assload of great info out there, and a LOT of people who would help him online, possibly some who would swing by and help him in person.

A troll is someone who raises hell for no good reason. I simply point out douche-fuckery as I see it. I'm not picking on, or being mean to, you, this kid, or anybody else. You're a whiny bitch (and whining for other people, for brownie points or something), and this kid doesn't use his brain and wants a giant pity party. He's obviously not stupid, he's just got some sort of slightly wannabe rebellious thing going on, combined with, ironically, wanting a pass on everything cause he's 15.

Being 15 doesn't make everything bitch mode. He's an adult who drives, owns, and works on cars. I give credit where credit is due, and there's surely plenty due. But there's also some very childish bullshit in his approach, and in the approach of people who defend it.

Thanks for the compliments, and i absolutely do not want a pass on anything..I just haven't learned how to diagnose my issue....so i took it to someone who can.
