HEY THANKS ALOT GUYS!!!!!!!!! lol im a 15 year old with a 17 year old car lol oh well. neway my car is doing the exact same thing as yours. i can take fuses out and and in it will try to start but when i try after that it just turns over my mufflers and **** off my racing exhaust are off so the exhaust makes this loud pooping noise every time it turns over. but thanks to you guys i know what the problem is. the only other thing i have to fix is the rear main its leaking . i lost half of my oil first day i refilled it. came out in the morning and it was on the the driveway running towards the road lol. 
lol oh well im a little to childish ill get it fixxed for christmass and im gonna take it to my schools auto shop since im in the auto program and get the rear main put in. i dont have the equip for that at home. one of the ways i found out about fuel pumps was i learned about spraying gass through the throttle and it would get the car to kick over and then you would know if it was "starving for fuel". lol you are car gods that have the
equipment to fix your parts. im gonna get my dad to bring his compressor and his torque wrenches and were gonna start checking for problems

Do you guys remember what it was like to be this enthusiastic? I miss those days...........
I look out the office at my car during the day and look for an excuse to drive it somewhere.
If I know I am Autocrossinf it the next weekend that week cannot go past fast enough and I hardly sleep the night before the race.
Now I am dealing with what is possibly a screwed side seal ( courtesy of a couple of 30+ PSI boosts during a malfunction this past july - she hung in there to everyones amazement for 6 more months) and I will not be driving it for at least 3 weeks if not a month. I am depressed right now.

I didn't say it was bad, just miss it. My FC is acting weird (again). Here's my NEW problem.
After about 5 minutes of driving, the temp. gauge says its' ON FIRE!!! I popped the hood after I pulled over, and it's not steaming. NO boiling, NO NOTHING. The only thing that's hot is the radiator hose. The radiator is ICE cold, and the engine is still warm to the touch. What gives? Should I drive it? Is my temp gauge screwed again?
