Re: AAAAARRRR Fing start

how did you confirm spark and fuel? Are you sure the fuel injectors are firing?

Re: AAAAARRRR Fing start

Could it be the VAT system?

Have you checked the easy stuff like volts at battery and volts at starter solenoid?

Smarter people then me will need a little more info to help. The year, induction, ect. would help a lot.

Re: AAAAARRRR Fing start

Did it run before (in your posession)? I'd start by checking the timing and fuel pressure. Have you tried pulling codes from the computer? My bro had this problem with a supercharged 96 T/A, long story short, do a compression test. It'll save you alot of headaches

If you haven't already, test to make sure your injectors are firing. Easiest way is to crank the engine a few times, then pull one of the plugs and check to see if its wet with gas. psi at the rail only shows the fuel pump as ok
