Oh boy.Maybe you need to go thru the engine harness and make sure everything is plugged in properly first then go from there.

talk to the previous owner and get as much information as you can... go from there.

i dont wanna spend too much money.........if the car was a turbo b4, should it have a turbo gauge???

could a vacuum hose stop it from not starting?

and another thing, the exhaust dosent have a mount.....its just hanging there???does the exhaust connect to where the turbo is??
