i have a red top 4AGE,
and i am having problems getting the engine started so i'll begin the story from the beginning.
i bought the car, after it had sat for 4 months, in the driveway of my neighbour. and i went and got the car, and the brakes were seized, so w/e we removed the rear rotors, and pushed the car home, (the battery was dead, and pushing it the four houses down wasn't a task)
so we got the car home put a different battery in it, and cranked it, it started n/p
so i left it run for about.. 20 mins, while we checked shit out with it, underneath, looks for major holes and blah blah blah,
i jumped in the car al we all piled in (three of us) and before i put it in reverse i revved it up.. to about 5000, and it just died, i mean vrroooooom.. done.
and we tried to start it again, and we couldn't it wouldn't start.
we pushed it and tried to jump start it, no help.
now that was in like november, it's friggin MAY, and it is time to put it on the road after like 3 months of body work, and mods.
i put new plugs in it, as the old ones had a sad yellow spark. we cracked the bolt on the fuel rail, and there is lots of fuel, and the pressure is good and constant.
now i can't get the engine to START, but it will turn over, and if it helps, i can take a few videos of the car and you guys can listen to what's goin on.
now, i took apart the fuel rail and the injectors to find that one of the injectors, is not working, now i can see that making the car runn shitty.. but not running at all? wtf?
my questions that i have are:
if something went wrong when i revved it up, could the cpu had shut something off and killed the car?
is there an " igniter" in these cars, and where is it, should i try replacing it?
can the AFM stop the engine from running? (it shouldn't but i'm stuck for ideas)
what controls the injectors? and where can i find it under the hood?
anything in the intake that could be stopping the air from entering the cylinders?
and could high rev's after a long sit make the engine jump timing? (that could be why it's not even kicking???)
so the engine turns over. but will not start. no kicks or anything, just a constant rawr, rawr, rawr, rawr, and no anything. ideas???
