Hi everyone,
Perhaps someone can help shed some light on this very frustrating problem. My father's 89 900T's head gasket blew around 150k miles and the car kept on running when it blew but it was pumping water into the exhaust system and he shut the car off as soon as he pulled over. He waited for the flatbed to come and hoped it might start up to get it on the truck but no luck, it just cranked and cranked. So, assuming after he replaced the head gasket that it would start up right away, he went ahead and replaced it. When he got done, no luck it just cranks and cranks. This car has had ECU troubles before and the one on there is a pretty recent replacement. He's tried swapping relays, checked fuses, swapped ignition coils, ignition modules, checked the hall effects sensor connection on the distributor, and a lot of other things. He is getting spark and fuel at the rail. The injectors are squirting but he said that it doesn't seem like an abundant amount of fuel. I wonder if for some reason it's not getting enough fuel to start? Any suggestions? Thanks for any help you can provide.
