Does it still turn over? What thermostat plug are you talking about being un-plugged? There are two. One for the gauge and one for the computer. Was it the one in the head or in the water pump.

 

still turns over and acts like it kinda wants to start sometimes........it was the thermostat for the gauge in the side of the block

 

Its actually in the head, but thats counting oranges.
Maybe it got so hot it fried the ICM? You getting spark? I saw where you are getting fuel so thats out.

 

im getting spark too! the icm huh? what exactly is that?

 

anyone please help!!!

 

you said it lost some water... did it get the opti?

 

honestly not really sure.........you think it might have and thats what did it? as far as im concerned it seems electrical.....but what do i know....lol

 

please help me!

 

If you are getting fuel and getting spark, that really covers the bases. Are the plug wires straight, like the firing order? You can get an ICM at A-Zone. Its the ignition control module.
Does it seem like it tries to start?

 

yep plug wires straight havent touched em............firing order hasent been messed with either...........so they should be fine.........yeah but it tries to start sometimes but just wont get going

 

Like it starts and runs real ruff? Then dies if you give it gas? Sounds like an opti. Its a hassle, but do you know somebody to swap with? See if that fixes it.

 

no thats not it.........it wants to start but it wont run

 

anyone?

 

help me!!!!
