  1. Rechecked timing and it's correct. I did a compression test and all the cylinders are between 120-125. It still just cranks over. I ran out of ideas. Should I replace the ecu and ECI relay? That's only thing left to do unless anyone has any ideas what else I can check
  2. I'm going to do that when I get a compression tester
  3. I'll check again for timing. The car does not start at all. I have to check compression also. I was thinking about getting another ecu and ECI relay after I recheck things again. Will give an update as soon as next week since I'll be working
  4. And I meant the ECI relay was arcing inside when lightly tapping it
  5. Yes when I lightly tap the distributor the fuel pump turns on and spark comes out only from the ignition coil when being tapped
  6. Well the fuel pump does not activate when the ignition switch is on but activates while cranking. The injector is spraying fuel. The fuel is 3 months old. I will double check spark again. My car is a 89. Made weird discovery just now. I was moving the distributor back and forth with the ignition switch on the on position and the fuel pump turned on for a quick second and spark came out of the ignition coil. I started hammering the aluminum part of the distributor lightly and the fuel pump keeps turning on and spark out of the ignition coil. Then lightly hit the ecu and nothing but hit the ECI relay and saw spark coming out. Any suggestion about this and what to do next
  7. Forgot about compression. Gotta get a compression tester and check compression
  8. Currently I've been trying to get my car started but it's just cranking. Last month I was able to get it running but it was misfiring. Now during the time it was running I've replaced the distributor, Maf, spark plug wire. The spark plugs are fairly new. The distributor , MAF and spark plug wires were used parts but the car is still misfiring like before so there's no change. Today, I have fuel, spark and my mechanical and distributor timing are correct. Don't know what else to check for, maybe a sensor that prevent the car to start. Any input will be helpful. When I was checking for spark it seems like the spark is weak. I got shocked a few times checking spark which I was able to tolerate. Don't know if weak spark is possible or not. Maybe a faulty ignition coil, guess I'm gonna try to replace that next
  9. Unable to start a new topic for some reason. Currently I've been trying to get my car started but it's just cranking. Last month I was able to get it running but it was misfiring. Now during the time it was running I've replaced the distributor, Maf, spark plug wires and spark plugs are fairly new.

  10. Sorry bandy, I've already purchased one
  11. Would like to know a price for a working condition igniter box for a 89
  12. Payment sent redcat. Let me know when item is being shipped. Thanks
  13. Does anyone has a good condition gas tank filler tube?
