Unless we're talking reaaaaly cheap, like good as free, I think i'll pass. I've already got most of my work done so there's no going back at this point. Thanks tho aaand these ones I'm repairing have EXCELLENT front sides and good vinyl so I'm happy.

I'll start:

replaced the rotor,cap, plugs, wires, cut the PS belt & modded a VR6 K&N filter to fit mine, since the PO took the filter out of the intake box for some reason and didnt put one back in

Tomorrow, oil change

Speed and ref sensors. Try swaping the connectors. If it doesn't crank you forgot the groundstrap or your battery is dead.

The battery works and the starter is actually turning the flywheel- I've bought new sensors and swapped them after the car didn't start the first time...Have no idea what it could be.

Would a clutch job affect my spark and fuel? I didn't touch either one of the systems, but I did smell fuel after attempting to start the car 3 times.

Your speed and reference sensors tell the DME the position and speed of the engine. It uses that to figure out the ignition. If you can smell unburnt fuel it is probably a spark problem. You dont get spart if you have the conectors mixed up on the two sensors.

I guess i'll have to check that out this weekend- but If the reference sensors are not sending the DME the message to spark, and then I swap the sensors and it still is not sending a signal, then what?

new fuel pressure regulator, fuel pressure damper, updated drivers side 964 wiper arm and 22" bosch icon blade
the arm parks in the center of the windshield, but i still need to adjust the arm towards the drivers side a little. please excuse the noise, the original wiper motor is on its way out.
