History & Problem:
My 94 Passport wont start after sitting for 3.5 months. I bought the car from a friend about a year ago (sat for 1.5 years with no battery before I bought it), and used it with no real problems. Only thing I can say that I noticed when it was running was black smoke coming from the tail pipe when I would goose it while parked, but would stop after 10 minutes. I took a long vacation and parked it in my parents backyard. I returned to get it and went to start it and the battery was completely dead, something drained it slowly. I took out the battery and fully charged it and reinstalled it. Went to start it and it just cranks no sputtering or anything just turning over (can hear it cough out the intake rarely while cranking). Here is what I have done.
1. Added water remover to the gas tank
2. Added 6 gallons of new gas to the existing 1.5 originally in the tank
3. purged 2 gallons of gas through the fuel rail (looked like piss and smelled weird, like not very potent. purged it until it smelled like strong gas)
4. Checked compression (all above 100 psi)
5. Checked if air was coming from tail pipe while cranking
6. Replaced all spark plugs
7. grounded each spark plug to check for spark while cranking
8. checked fuel pressure it is 40 psi
9. checked trouble codes No stored codes (code 12 displaying, for confirmation in diag mode)
10. replaced crank position sensor
11. sprayed ether and gas directly into the intake
12. tested 2 of the spark plug wires (10K ohms)
13. Checked all fuses
I bought a Hanes manual to see how to test the coil but the procedure makes no sense to me and others. Do I really need to do further tests to the coil pack if I am getting spark from it?
Thoughts I have:
Could the coil not be putting enough spark out? It was a pretty big spark on each terminal!?
Could the gas be that bad still? Wouldn't ether and strait gas in the in the intake rule that out?
I need help please, any thoughts. Thanks for taking the time to read this
