As you all know I bought a salvaged Evo X. When I first brought it home the engine would turn freely but wouldn't start so I just thought it was the battery (Panasonic). About a month later I bought a new one and tried to start it and it turns only about 1/4 of a turn. Since I am repairing it, the intake is off and so is the intercooler and radiator. I noticed the throttle plate hardly opens when I try to start my car. Could this be a solenoid? Or does it not let the engine start because the MAF sensor isn't on? I know the engine isn't seized because it turned freely before just never started. There is spark.
