Ya I know couldn't pass it up but hopefully it doesn't need a bunch of work. I had the chrome tyc's I had tinted and didn't like it too much and kept gettin pulled over I plan on getting the black projectors just dont know when and no the flat black is just temporary so it has somethin to protect it just been really busy and now that its my dd its hard to work on it.

Whoa the paint on the Patriot Red G is looking good, such a steal if that's all it needs! Even if not you might can part the joint out and make your money back if it's a money pit, or make a few repairs if it needs them and flip it, congrats on the pickup!

So i decided to check and see what I could find out today. First things first the battery was bad so I swapped mine in. The car turns over it sounds to me like more of a fuel problem I also checked for spark and it does have spark tell me what you guys think.

Whoa man its been a while! Lol! Welcome back!
Your original G looks really good in flat black, I would leave it like that bcz it compliments the kit very well.
And thats a steal on the new G for how clean the body and paint is. Thats a WIN WIN even if you need another motor. Is the new one gonna be your DD?

It has 210k. Yes I checked the plugs and popped the upper timing belt cover off and the belt was intact. So right now im guessing it could be timing belt jumped, big vacuum leak, fuel problem (it still has the old gas in it) or maybe a sensor. I sprayed some starter fluid in the intake mani also and nothing so im not sure gonna get a fuel pressure tester and do a compression test next just to see what I get. And ya as soon as i get it running it will most likely be the dd.

Also forgot to mention that it isnt throwing any codes.

Did a compression check today and all cylinders are low so now I just gotta make a decision to part it out like I planned on doing before I bought it or start a project.

It could be a broken timing belt, take the cover off and look

**jonk8123** · 05-03-2012, 05:46 PM

already did that and the timing belt was fine

**Black8GV6** · 05-03-2012, 05:50 PM

My bad, I see that you posted that earlier, it smelled like a broken timing tho, lol

Youre parting out the new G you just bought or your old G?
