Help me fix my car! (Video inside)

[nickpro]

ETA block, I head, I have no idea the specs on the build. It was just rebuilt.

It is getting fuel
It is getting spark
Main relay is good
Pretty sure fuel pump is good


Anyone have any similar problems?

The first thing I'd suggest is that you pull the timing belt covers and verify the cam timing.

[nickpro]

Will I need a timing light for that?

[MR 325]

Definitely don't need a light. You need to check to make sure the marks are where they should be.

The way it's cranking sounds like the timing is off of it's got a dead cylinder.

[nickpro]

Awesome, thanks for the help. Sorry to sound newbish, but is there anyway to revive a dead cylinder?

It does sound like it is out of time....Like 180 out...
Pull the cover and check as posted before.
hopefully something simple.And never hurts to walk away from it a while.

Seems like some good responses. I'm not mechanical enough to understand why the timing might be off like that or what the sound differences are, but the only obvious thing to try would be opening the throttle to make sure it's getting air as well.

Is there any fuel out the back? It didn't even sound like it was firing.

Good luck,
Teran

Thanks alot for the help guys! It makes sense the timing would be off, The PO bought this swap of some kid, and it doesn't really seem like he did that good of a job on it. I'll try the timing stuff tomorrow and report back.
