[badnat]

If it will crank without fuel, then stops when the fuel hits, get a set of noid lights and see if the injectors are staying on all the time and are flooding the engine. If so; it is probably a harness problem; but could be the computer.

I had a car that just wouldn't start, and messed with the harness for a month. Finally bought a harness off this board and never had another problem.

Good luck,

Joe

Will the engine turn over if you unplug the ECM wire? If it doesn't turn over, pull the plugs and see if any liquid shoots out of the plug holes when you turn it over by hand. I had a Champion iron head crack and I hydrolocked the motor - not a cheap repiar!

Possible missadjusted cam sensor.
