    Default 94 GSR turns over but wont start!

    Ive got a 94 gsr w/ a 2000 gsr motor everything was fine it started up and ran for a while a few days ago and now it turns over all day but wont start. I have checked the fuel pump and replaced the fuel filter but no luck.

    On a '94? Damn. You might want to check for a clogged line then. Like the line to the fuel rail itself.

    you think it could clog past the filter? its worth a try i guess what about clogged injectors? where are the relays located that have to do with the fuel system?

    The main relay you could start with. But it could be the filter itself that's clogged. That's why i recommend checking downpath of the filter.

    if your dizzy is good and u have oil not sure as far as oil pressure. the only other things i can think of is to check your ecu fuses and your ecu.

    you could also swap the ls to the gsr but youll have to cut one ear to clear the vtec solenoid and can only use top bolt just to check that is. main relay has a big brown plug and is bolted right next to the hood pull. imo the ecu may not be letting injectors pulse but usually fuel pump wont run in this situation too so i dont know. my frriends does this all the time in his del sol cause of a leak that lets water run down the conectors. take ecu panels off top & bottom and blow dry curcuit board even if it doesnt look wet doesnt mean it wasnt. works every time on his car untill his cheap ass replaces rubber or shorts the ecu.lol.

    If you got no spark its most likely your coil pack in the distributor...

    Main relay is working if your fuel pump engages when you turn the key on...

    For a car that was running fine and to not run I would tackle the coil pack first.. You can just swap the coil pack from an ls into yours to see if it works. Or if you want to just look at your coil pack take it out and see if it has burn marks on the flat sides. I have seen it many times..

    check grounds too! might sound simple but even a little 12mm bolt with a loose ground under it could keep it from starting. happened to me more than once.

    just a thought but, maybe you should look into your timing as well. And if you have a xtra ignitor replace that out as well and see what it do. I went to a problem like that before, and it was just my ignitor that went out all of a sudden. And as to the no spark, check if everything is lined up right and stuff. possibly timing might have jumped ?? just a thought. happened to me once. 8D
