[quote=”Borowicz” post=96415]The initial symptom (crank -> start -> die -> recrank -> runs fine) sounds like a failing fuel pump. As the valves in those go bad the fuel pressure in the lines dies and the pump has to re-prime the system on start up.
The new no start problem is more interesting… This clicking; is it coming from the front or back of the car? Just trying to see if the fuel pump could be at fault? Also what kind of click is it? is it a metallic click? or a plastic one? Check out Eric’s Video for diagnosing no starts, I wouldn’t go throwing ignition parts at it until you are certain that’s what it is because coils/starters are quite pricey[/quote]
I do believe its more of a metallic sound. From the front of the car.
Which is most likely the starter right ?

Yeah I figured I’d need an impact, when I turned the crankshaft it sounded like a glass of skittles so I know the chain is off, so i think next I’ll get at the head and do a leak test on it to see if my valves are damaged/

Got a quote on the head, BASE price was 325 including labor and the price would go up from there depending on what needs to happen and how much the indv. parts were.
Not sure if that’s high or what but I found a car on Craigslist with the engine for 300. If i go look at it, what test should I do to it ? Compression ? and what else ?
Eric Posted on like every post except for mine 🙁 He doesn’t love us guys.
