Car won't start after replacing all possible parts
I have a 08 evo x with built engine. One day the car just die on the highway, it won't start. I got it tow to the shop, when the car arrived to the shop, it starts again. First thing it came to mind must be the fuel pump. But I replace the fuel relay first, which it doesn't work. I order an arm fuel pump which is what I'm currently running. It still won't start, the spark plug got oil bathed, so I replaced them as well. I check the oil line to the engine to see if there was any gas oil going into the engine, which was fine. I then replace the crank position sensor, the car finally runs. But 2 days later, the car won't start again. WTF, anyone know why?

Why is the spark plug getting oil on it? Only a couple ways that would happen, and all of them aren't good.
Have you done a compression and leak down test? |
Compression test and leak down won't effect the starting. Two reason that will affect starting of a car, ignition and fuel. I replace all of them, that's why I stuck.

(pssst. spark plugs aren't supposed to ever have oil on them, that has nothing to do with ignition or fuel) |

(pssst: oil-fouled plugs are hard to start ;) )

sounds like you need to replace the operator. :lol::lol:
for real though, you need to upgrade your humility module if your going to be asking for help on the interwebs. |

Have you done a compression and leak down test? You need four things to get an engine started/running. Fuel, Spark, Compression and good timing. If any one of these is off, then you'll have issues. Good luck. |
