i talked to lancerman and hes on vacation. but now the car wont start, it turns over and sometimes it backfires, but it wont start and everytime the engine does a rotation you can see little puffs of black smoke, i check to see if there was spark, and there is, and i know that the engine is getting fuel. im going to check to see if it has good compression again, maybe some shavings from porting the intake manifold for the 1g TB has gotten into the combustion chambers or something, but i borrowed another ECU from a local DSMer and it still wont start, so im elimanting that it is the ecu. anyone have any ideas? i REALLY want to put it on the dyno on the 19th.
