[QUOTE="Ness, post: 16987674, member: 205510"] You read that right lol. I have a 96 cobra bone stock that was parked running about 6-8 months ago because I was in a motorcycle accident. Recently I went out to the car to get it going again to go back on the road. I had no fuel so I replaced the fuel filter which was completely clogged. After that I had no fuel pressure at the fuel rail. I replaced the FPR and boom now the rail is finally building pressure. So after all that car still will not start every once in awhile it'll try and fire, but dies right away like its just loosing spark, but its right away. The weirder thing is it will only even TRY to fire off when the battery is hardly able to spin it over. Then if I hold the key and play with the throttle it'll fire die fire die fire die like right away. Me typing it doesn't do it justice which sucks, but I'm trying my best lol. So with a fresh battery or the charged up one that was in it, it'll just crank and wont even attempt to cough. Once whatever battery is in the car is dying or about to literally not be able to turn the car over then the cars tries to start still dies right away but it's trying. Things I've checked. Fuel pump-good Fuel filter-brand new FPR-brand new Ignition wires-brand new Sparkplugs-brand new injectors-brand new coil packs both have 12+ with key on at the center wire of the plug I know it has a green tracer I forget to be honest but were good there. Ground plug by the battery that makes your fans go nuts when its unplugged I checked and its fine. I redid the + and - cable ends to the battery. I'm lost to be truthful I thought maybe PATS, but my light goes out after three seconds and I don't think the car would even try to fire at all if it was PATS locking me out. I'm not 100 percent though. [/QUOTE]
