man im getting so irritated with my car. my motor wont start and ive tried everything. its really making me mad but hey what can i do. if i can't figure it out soon im just gonna sell it for maybe 1500-2000 bucks. its a 1987 original TII and its got a low mileage JDM 91 TurboII that doesn't want to start. bet its because i can't get the wiring right. im wiring retarded. sigh im gonna miss it

injectors being different would not keep it from starting. It would make it run "different" but it would start. there is a porblem elsewhere. and I would look at the ECU/harness combo.

correct me if i am a wrong but if you got s4 manifolds, injectors, afm, etc for all the ecm is concerned its an s4? aside from rotor compression numbers and the front cover, isn't the remaining difference between the s4 and s5 shortblock pretty trivial?

where are you in san diego?

You should just "JUNK IT" since there is no hope for it. I will give ya $400 and I have free towing. Im being generous today.

thanks for the low ball but dont try to say i should junk it when it has alot of potential. theres nothing seriously wrong with it and if anything i can just send it somewhere to get it fixed and sell it for more than your 3x's more than your 400 bucks

oh jayurai the motor cranks, all wires are sparking, all plugs are clean, and has stock compression on all rotors. it just wont crank over and start. it did that once but thats when my manifold broke :-(

400 x 3 =1200. Ok, you got a deal.
