Okay so i bought an 86' eta with an m20b27 about a month ago. Just recently i noticed a small tear in the intake boot which explained why it idled badly, so i threw some tape on their until the new boot arrived and drove the rest of the day. But i tried starting it up today and it just cranks. Tried popping the clutch and it sputtered but wouldn't start up. Tried again going about 25 and it started, until i made it to the bottom of my driveway when I slowed and stepped on the clutch, it stalled. Popped the clutch again to make it bake up the driveway and when i slowed down to about 1k rpm it stalled.
So I opened the hood and the intake boot had completely ripped in half and was barely held together by the tape. My guess was that it just had a HUGE vacuum leak and wouldn't start due to air/fuel ratio being off but it settled out at a high rpm. Well i got the new boot, installed it, and it won't start. I'm getting fuel but no spark.....but i can pop the clutch going 25 and it starts.......I am completely lost. Coil is fine, cap and rotor had a little pitting but i scraped most of it off, still nothing. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
