1993 Eagle Talon DL
Let's see, I got the car about 6 years ago. It worked originally but then the timing belt went out. I also found that the Head Gasket needed to be replaced. So replaced those as well as the Throttle Position Sensor, Idle Control Motor, Mass Airflow Sensor. After all this it was running, but it still had some minor starting issues. I also replaced the Power Steering Coolant Line, Battery, Spark Plugs, Plug Wires, Fuel Filter, Distributor Cap, Oil, Oil Pan Gasket, and Muffler.
However after this it sat for awhile waiting for the brakes and brake lines to be done, since I didn't have the money or time to work on it. So I tried to start it up awhile ago, but the car refused to start. It cranked normally but it didn't start up. So I tested it and found it wasn't getting spark, so I replaced the entire distributor (which includes the coil and ignition module). More recently I noticed that the fuel line is now broken, so that's lovely, but despite that, there is still no spark, so it's mostly moot.
But to this day it has not been driven more then 60 miles. So I was trying to finally get it on the road, but have had nothing but problems since I got it. I have since pulled out some of the electrical components, such as the driving lights and the stereo to track down a power drain issue. Which is unfortunate, since it feels like those were the only bits that actually worked on the car.
I have the smaller SOHC version of the engine, which might be part of the problem, but I am not sure I want to pour more funds into this bottomless money pit by swapping in a new engine.
