well i had the same problem once.

my car made the shotgun noise and died.

towed it home.

it wouldnt start but when cranking it would do the same exact thing you said, lots of gas and every now and then it would make a ridiculously loud bang.

turns out i blew an apex seal.

whoopee.

i am just saying be careful.

do you have a good rotary shop around that you could take it to and ask their opinion?

First things first my friend,



Check your fuses...ALL of them



Check compression (do a search there are about 200 topics about this)



If compression is good check for fuel. remove the line from the fuel filter and turn the key to the on position and have a second person see if the line is moving fuel, should not take more than a few seconds to see a good stream of fuel



Next if we have fuel present, check for spark.



If any of these procedures are unfamiliar to you, then I suggest you get a Haynes or Chiltons manula for the car and start reading. If you do not have a compression tester , most major automotive chain parts stores have them to rent.



Then come back and let us know your findings. It is a lot easier to troubleshoot when it is a specific problem than a general one like "Won't start"
