  1. Meh the car has more problems then just starting in the rain or even a leaky injector. Had a compression test done and it was at around 20 on 2 cylinders. Even with a bit of oil on top of the pistons it was still way low. Either way I'm selling to a friend as a parts car. I dont have enough money to spend on a new motor rebuild. I just barely spent 800 for the bottom end rebuild on my Talon (not including the parts). So spending another 800-1000 on a car I paid 700 for doesn't seem practical to me. I could use that 1000 and buy another car instead. It was a fun car I'll probably pick up another one down the road. Probably from someone on here because the cleanest ones are on this site and I'd like one as a collector's piece. I didn't want to junk it because I'd rather see the parts from it help get another Starquest on the road. I also dont see much point in keeping one for a full-blown project when the body is in such horrible shape. It'll be a good parts car.
  2. Yes and it started up multiple times on the dry days that I drove it. But after every rain storm it wont start. I'm not doubting in any way that it has a leaky injector or that the throttle body is in definite need of a rebuild just for how old it is and how it drives. I can tell it's running rich. But rain doesn't make an injector leak more lol :character0292: Something must be getting wet. Its happened 3 times now and every time it's after a rain storm.
  3. Well its definitely something getting wet. Rained again while I was driving. Turned the car off and went inside the store. Came out and bam sure enough wouldn't start. Could the coil be possibly letting in moisture? Maybe just a wire somewhere?
  4. I tried unplugging the injectors and cranking it over for about 20-30 seconds to try and clear out the flooded cylinders. Still no go....I'm not sure if its getting spark really. Nobody around to crank it while I press a wire against metal.... Earlier BrazilBoy said he got a Jacobs Electronics ignition coil (which I guess is now Accel) I was gonna pick one up just wondering if the coils go bad often on these cars. It was just one more thing I wanted to try before taking the throttle body apart to take to a shop and have them remove the damaged bolt and clean the injectors.
  5. Well......new cap and nothing..... Interestingly I pressed on an injector and some fuel came out of the top of it. Guess it is a leaky injector for sure then right?
  6. I think I found the problem. Remembering back last week that night that it sat at my work it rained. Then wouldn't start the next morning when I got off. No yesterday afternoon it rained before I had to go to work. Then wouldn't start again after the rain storm. So..................when I thought distributor before I may have been right. The humidity/moisture getting inside of it somehow throught a crack or bad seal perhaps...... I'll replace it and see what happens I guess.
  7. Woops my bad not the FPR the injector holder part 'A' on the diagram
  8. Took the plugs out. Wiped them off a bit. But before I installed them I cranked it over. Did notice any fuel spraying though.....put it all back together. Got it started took and it for a spirited drive after I let it idle for about 5-7 mins. Once I got back I shut it off to see if it wouldn't start again. It started. Drove it again. Came back. Turned it off. Tried it again for a third time.....and started. Its weird. But for another question do they still sell the screws that hold the FPR on individually? One of mines stripped...
  9. It's definitely fuel thats wetting the plugs. Seems to be getting A LOT of fuel. I'm also thinking its a leaky injector due to my rough idle (sounds like its on 3 cylinders) and poor throttle response. Running a bit rich maybe? I think so. Is there a way to disable the fuel pump (ie relay/fuse) on these cars thats pretty accessible? I think I may need to try and get the fuel inside the cylinders out.
  10. Tried another set of plugs and wires. Still nothing. Wont start at all. Tried to idle for a second then died. Plugs still all wet. :hangman: Whats the easiest way to diagnos this? CTS = Coolant Temp Sensor?
  11. How much do those go for or do you have a link to where they can be purchase from?
  12. This is the 2nd time I've ran into a flooding issue. However it may not be flooding. Once the car sits a while it becomes difficult to start. Much like when it flooded this last winter. Pulled the plugs and 1-3 were wet. Put in some new ones and she atarted right up. Drove it again let it sit for a while then wouldn't start. :confused0024: Pulled the plugs again. They weren't really wet but they werent very pretty either. I tried starting it with the accelerator pressed all the way down. Nothing. Put it in first and as I was cranking it I lifted the clutch pedal and let it stall. Turned the key again and it started up. Hmmmm I think that instead of flooding I may be getting insufficient spark. The plugs and wires are new. So next would be the distributor cap? Correct? Thanks in advance!
  13. I just got my one and only 85 Flatty (see sig) Anybody know what the trim level on mine would be? ie TSi ESi etc.... and whats the factory name for its color? Sarajevo White? Polar White? Again not sure...lol Its been a pretty good daily for me *knocks on wood* better than my Talon was but nowhere near as fun to drive lol I saw an orange flatty in some guys driveway not foar from me. I've never seen it move.....I wonder if they would sell it for cheap (I dont think it runs) and I could do a 4G swap on it while keeping my white one for a cheap daily.....hmmmm opportunity? Maybe!
  14. Ya they are by far my favorite of the DSM body styles. They are the rarest too. There were less than 1500 Talons made in 97 and 98. Thats just Talons in general. The Turbo All Wheel Drive models were even more rare...
