AH! i didnt know that thanks!
well when i tried to start it, i got one BOOM then nothing again, so this time i took ALL the plugs out.. 20 mins later put em back in, same thing.. so.. now i have them all out, and am going to let it sit for the night. im really hoping its just too much fuel. no matter who i talk to, they are clueless.. ive got spark, compression, and fuel.. and im not getting any combustion..
(now i am hoping it is flooded, and my thoughts are backed by this, when we were doing the timing, we noticed when you hit the rotor a certain way the fuel pump would kick on.. and we did it a few times..) Jazzman said its because the car thinks its running and sends fuel. SO tomorrow i try again.

Well let's just hope you get this thing runnin' soon. Seems like you are so close and yet so far. How about letting it sit overnight (or a few days) and install a cheap set of NEW plugs and trying it? Just a thought. Hope you get that thing going!

That strut tower brace part does look good. That is why I put one in my car. Is your oil pressure building up while you crank? If it doesn't get out of the red the car may not start. That is the problem I faced on my way to Carlisle when my car died. I'm going to get a new pigtail to see if it fixes the intermittent problem I have with mine.

Hey B.
Glad to see you are still working at it. I have two sets of new plugs, only like 100 or so miles on each. One AC delco and the other Bosh platinums. Let me know if you need them.
Also, I have a compression tester if you need.
I still think you are not getting enough cranking power...

those are new plugs though..
for now i have unplugged the OPSU, someone told me it will still start unplugged, (and i did get one combustion..)
now i have to figure out which wire goes where.. i called rjblaze, and i found the 12 volt one, but no matter which way i connect the wires, the gauge pegs..

If its flooded its sometimes tough to get it "unflooded" with fuel injected cars. I know its tough (long time to wait when you want to hear it run) but I would suggest taking the plugs out and letting it sit a day or two at least. The comment about holding it to the floor should be correct but if its really flooded, even that may not be enough. One thing to remeber, fuel injected cars shouldnt need any throttle pumping to start (alot of people with regualer carberated cars think they need to pump them, if they are in working order you shouldnt ever have to pump a fuel injected car). If its flooded really bad it might not hurt to squirt a shot of oil in each cylinder..all that gas and lots of cranking will wash the cylinder walls dry.

86fierofun had a good question about how old is the gas in the tank. If the gas is old it might not be any good. Have you tried spraying any starter fluid into the throttle body yet?
