If you are worried about your speed/reference sensors, look to see if the tach is bouncing when you try to turn over the car. Sorry to hear about your problems.

Two things come to my mind:
Check rotor for cracks, or the MAF. Mine did the same thing when the bolt for the rotor came loose and it shreded the rotor and cap internally. I was still getting spark but it was out of order and the car wouldn't start.

Thanks you guys. I will check the maf for oil and the rotor For cracks. Also I will pull the plugs and clean them. Which leads me to my next question...how do you clean fouled plugs?

minho78

Just buy new ones they are cheap. Where do you live in CT?

Clown

Central ct Middletown.

That's far or else I would go take a look

Thanks for the thought. I have not had any time to look at the car tonight. I will post back as soon as I can. I really appreciate your help and thought. I hope I can get to the bottom of this soon without taking it to a shop. I will probably pull the plugs and replace next to see if that changes anything. I just replaced them a few weeks ago but maybe they are fouled up due to running too rich.

One of the hardest to diagnose problems of a 'just did a spirited run' now car won't start issues is the dreaded collasped double wall crossover exhaust tube. Bout the only way to test for it is to monitor the exhaust flow out the tailpipe if you can get it to run at idle, other than tearing the sucker out to have a look. Suppose you could disconnect the Wastegate as a header dump or cheat the Wastegate Valve somehow.

i was under the assumption that the collapsed crossover would only cause a no boost issue.

Ronin-951

True - No Boost, but the root is restricted exhaust flow, how much restriction is a roll of the dice.

Guys I finally found the problem to my no start issue!!!!

On Friday I had my first real chance to really look at the car. I was checking the timing belt for TDC and to see if it skipped a few teeth. It looked good and as I was putting everything back together I stopped to clean the ingnition rotor when all of a sudden it moved. I was not sure at first if that was normal but then discovered that the screw that holds it in place was missing and I pulled the rotor right out with little effort !?! I could not beleive my eyes and do not know how long it was like that. I quickly found a replacement screw that fit and secured the rotor back into place. Put the cap and plugs back on and it fired right up the first time!! Been out in it all weekend and it is running great.

Minho78 - Special thanks for your help I probably would not have looked at the ignition rotor that closely had you not mentioned it!

Thanks you all for your help. Its good to be on the road again!

Glad you found it! How many times was the rotor mentioned in this thread?
