    when was the last time you replaced your fuel filter? check fuel pump too. other things that might give trouble to starting is main relay...may not trip fuel code. also when was the last time cap, rotor, and plugs were changed?

    is this a stock ecu?

    hmm...never changed the fuel filter since i bought the car over 5 months ago.

    i'm hoping its not the fuel pump because i dont want to go through the hassle of dropping the gas tank.

    so you're saying the cap, rotor, and plugs may set off the code? because i have no clue on when it was all last serviced.

    if it's a 92 da and never been changed i would do that anyway first, fuel pump second or main relay if you don't hear the pump prime unless you bang on the bottom side of the dash. injectors can go bad, but it's rare.

    cap, rotor, plugs shouldn't trip this cel, but it can help prevent it from starting/firing.

    stock ecu that's been in there even when you didn't have a cel?

    Alot of things could cause this.... Next time Try turning the car On then Off and back on again... Do this twice... On 2 sec..Off.. On 2sec then Start...If this works I will explain more... Also if you have a C/k Engine light just Post the Code... The light could help some of us to Explain the trouble Further..
