Yo whats up my bro had the same problem as mine i presume. So i told him to take out the egi fuse and crank the car with no plugs on the car. After inspectiong the plugs we concluded that he needs new ones so we got new plugs wires and battery and the car still wont start. SO it has to be a fuel problem or something. What do u guys think



ASAP

I conclude that you should not work on your own vehicle. Take it you your boy Nick, yo.

well they moved out of the semi ghetto and moved into a real nice neighbor hood in Baldwin Harbour..We have been trying to start the car for a while now and nothing. I assumed it was flooded like mines so he did all the steps i did and nothing so i dont know whats wrong. My brother cant explain things very well so Nemesisi thats all the info i have.



And i will work and break my car cause its my car. How else are you gonna learn waht not to do when working on your car. Im no mechanic or anything and i learn wheni have the chance. If i could ill be with my car 24-7 so until then. Ima keep braking things on my rides and fixing em.!

YO

i dunno becuase im not there. I cant talk to my bro cuase they cut the phone in my moms house so they dont got cellies or anything. The last time he called me thats all he said. He unflooded the car and it wont start. My moms b/f said it may be the fuel pump. So i dont know if its a fuel problem or if its an electrical problem. I posted the question because then there must be suggestions on what couldbe the problem and how to check if it is it know what i mean. So any suggestions will be taking into account. You say spark right so what should i check. I know that you can check by connecting the wires and the plugs and putting next to the firewall and letting it spark onto the firewall. By that you can check if its sparking.. any way of checking the injectors to see if there runnning. Sorry about not being specific but i dont know what to suggest or how to explain the dilema more than i did. I had a similar problem so he tried what i did and taht didnt werk so there must be something else. I want him to sell the car cuase hes going away for the Marines and i want him to have some money cause my moms is grimmey and i just hate to see a 7 just sitting doing nothing. ya feel me right

Tell him to ground out the spark plug to check for spark. If one of the injector is stuck open he can check the oil pan there will be fuel down there. I only have experance on FD's sure someone with more experance will know some of the little tricks on 2nd gens.
