If this were M.net, I would just tell you how, and a little part of me would die inside.

This is not M.net.

lmao, true. Found an igniter, brand spankin new 75 bucks and 25 shipping which is really dumb because its 25 to the States and Canada...but i dont feel like paying duties for shit anymore so its going to the states, and hopefully i dont fuck it up this time.

put my front springs and shocks on today, looks nice, tried to fire her up again, cleaned out the spark plugs for now...i turned the key it just wouldn't turn over, like when you try to start a car and it keeps going urrr urrr urrr, ect and wouldn't fire up. Is it because my starter is shot because i have been trying to start it to much or to i have to mess with my cranking PW's it was 5 deg outside today not that cold.

You cranking PWs are the amount of fuel being injected. Has nothing to do with the ability of your car being able to turn over when trying to start it. Sounds like you have a dead battery.

if it was the battery would it not just be a clicking noise? Not keep turning over and not starting?

Alright, i checked if i was getting spark (20 years later lol), and yes i am getting spark from all 4 wires, so my coil packs good. It still wouldn't fire up, battery's fine, getting spark, getting fuel because i can hear the pump when i put the key to on. I still dont know if its my igniter but would that be the reason why its not firing up?

heres a vid, turn speakers up, to hear cause cell phone is junk, i got spark, fuel, battery's perfect, the popping noise is when i press the gas, and the boost gauge goes over 0psi when i try to fire it up. Before it was at least running now it wont even turn on...

Just because you can hear the pump prime doesn't mean your injectors are firing. Take a screwdriver, place it on one of the injectors, put the other end to your ear, and have a friend crank the car. You should be able to hear the injector clicking as it fires.

Are the plugs soaking wet with fuel, or are they dry?

sounded like my problem

are your injector plugs clipped in? (ask me how i know this one :greddy2: )

get back to ya on that tm

yes lol i believe so, and i even rewired them the other way again today to see if that was it but im 99.9% sure they are plugged in lol. Why did your car not start because they weren't clipped in all the way?

Miataz, dunno if you have seen this thread but this may help you out:

I remember seeing a video where you though your car was running on 2 cylinders or something a few weeks back. Looks to be of the same issue. Just something to double check.

yea i will look into that, this Saturday im giving my last shot for everything, buddy's coming over and i mite get someone from the forum here ;) if i cant get it up and running this weekend im working at a garage co-op placement for school this semester gr.12 last year, and im just going to get it towed there and they can help me out with it...

Checked it out today after finishing installing the DDM gauge/radio panel(get pics after), timing belt is fine, i am getting fuel because i looked at the bottom of the plugs and they were wet, and i sprayed gas inside the throttle body just to make sure and it dint start. Im thinking its either that my timing is so off that it wont start or that im getting spark but not a strong enough spark. Would those be possibilities?
