No start:
The short answer is to ask here for a competent ,honest Indie in your area. The diagnosis list is long and complex to act on. But let's try one simple thing- when the engine cranks, does the tachometer needle move slightly? |

Sounds like it may be the crank position sensor.

CPS, Crank Position Sensor, not working!

Timco had an issue a while back that looked like a CPS and it turned out to be the fuel pump. Although the rpm not moving sure sounds like CPS, not to be confused with a camshaft sensor.

Sounds like your muffler bearings need to be re-packed. I recommend using 30 weight grease. Let me know if you need a DIY.

Not screwed yet by far. It's all good man.
CPS is pretty cheap. If you can't test it, I'd still start there. Not super easy to get to. If you want to do more testing first, verify fuel pressure is present. These are not cars to own if you can't scrounge up $2k if needed unless you can do your own testing and wrenching to make it more affordable. You may have got a great deal, but to fix anything on it it's still a Porsche all the way around. |
Apology accepted.
Things that make the car not start. Fuel pump You can pull the fuel pump relay and jumper it to run the pump. Search the forum for fuel pump and you'll run into it. If the pump runs scratch that off the list. CPS - but usually fails hot and it seems you replaced it already. Immobilizer under the drivers seat. Is it wet under the drivers seat? This is a whole new adventure if it is. Top not working -I'm assuming the top motor is not running. Make sure the parking brake is on ( I made this mistake once). If the parking brake is pulled cycle it a couple of times to see if the top micro switch is failing. Latch and unlatch the top a few times as well (another micro switch) I don't understand what you mean by "the lights on so i cant get to the engine to fix it" If it were me, I'd jumper the fuel pump next. Very common failure and easy test to run. |
