^exactly. it seems highly unlikely that anything in that circuit that could have blown would be causing this issue, especially since spark is there. i'm all out of ideas....

ah yes; those parts would be something more than "cobbled together" from the looks of it, that's an MSA-style exhaust (judging by the muffler and tip)

^makes sense, stephen, but if he is getting spark/air/fuel when cranking (to verify spark), then the only thing it can be is timing AFAIK.... did you check the order of your spark plug wires?

is your timing right? if it is, pull a plug and connect it to the wire, then set it next to the block (to ground it). see if you're getting spark to the plugs. if you have air, fuel, and spark, there should be no reason it doesn't run or start, assuming the timing is correct.

actually, it sounds like someone got a car in pretty roughed up condition, threw on some "go fast" and "pretty" parts and called it a day. what's funny is from the first pic i thought "well, that car doesn't look THAT messed up, looks a little like my car.." then i saw the rest of the pics and thought "......oh......"

ya. pull your plugs and look at them, check your plug wires, check your dizzy rotor and cap (for cracks, worn contacts, carbon buildup, etc), and check ALL plugs at the plugs, cap, and coil. try starting fluid and see if it does anything.

^well, he COULD afford an iphone...

us in the industry refer to it as split loom tubing looking effin sweet my man!

kid still got a flippin sweet deal.

^depends on the revs. at idle, mine is right where yours is and sometimes lower. while driving (not fully heated, it's about even with your temp gauge. when my temp gets that high i get nervous and stephen -

^that's actually a misrepresented quote; never said by barnum

passenger side of the block, right there in the middle/bottom.

wth is a cast iron chicken? like a figurine? when i first read it, i thought it was like in the shape of a cooked chicken, but made of cast iron. now THAT would be some tough meat....

welcome!

^good call. that's probably what it is... something in the "sense" circuit is probably messed up

nice!

ya, mine must be stock because i am on the E

^what's interesting is that i didn't have to install a diode :/

would the alternator even work if it was IR and you had a VR plugged into it?

are they rounded at the top, like domes? if so, they are the good ol' SUs and WELCOME! i will admit the no 56 had me too

FWIW i found a webpage that describes how to rebuild the fan clutch if you're interested. i don't remember the site (i think i googled it) but all you really need for it is a razor blade, some paint thinner, brake parts cleaner, and some smoke b gone. i should add that if you DO decide to rebuild the fan clutch: don't let the o-ring sit too long!! it will strecth a BUNCH so it won't be able to be used again. i made that mistake and had to use RTV anyway, GL w/ your elec fan install!

i would say change them. send me a PM and we can meet up. i have some E88 valves that i'm not using

let me be the first to tell you WELCOME! we expect pics promptly DOH! i guess i'll be the second.....

my bid was cancelled as well. granted my bid was something like $100 , but still. i'm reporting it as well..

man, i remember seeing mad caddies in concert like 10 years ago....
