Ok so no this is not on the s2000 it is on my buddies lt1 Camaro and I am trying to help him get it running because I am tired of just seeing it sit there. He went and had some work done to it about 5 months ago just new seals and all that because it was leaking a little oil. When he got it back it ran good but still leaked oil. So he took it back to the dude and it ended up just being a bad seal on the crank position sensor. He put a new o ring and everything on it gave it back to him and it ran for the day but then it stalled a few times and then finally wouldn't turn over. The car sat for a few months until i finally said screw it and started working on it myself at least he wouldn't. I went out and bought a new crank sensor and a new battery and it still won't start. It is cranking but not starting up. So next I said it was bad fuel from sitting up for awhile so it still had a half a tank so I put 91 in it the rest of the way and some sea foam. It sounds like it is trying to start now but still isn't firing up. I undid the fuel injectors and they are shooting fuel so i know it's getting fuel so now my next thoughts are either no spark or no compression. The ignition module would make it not get spark where it did random stalls and hard to start up. So tomorrow I am going to pull the spark plug wires and check for spark on those and if that gets spark I am going to test the compression on all the cylinders to see what its running. Other then that I am kind of stumped if all those show up good. So I was seeing if anybody else had any better ideas. Please don't come in here and say because it is a chevy I am not trying to hear all that I am hoping the s2000 community will help out a friend even if it is a chevy ha. He also just had all the spark plugs changed and fuel pump so I am pretty sure it's not those. Any help is appreciated very much thanks in advanced.

so it doesn't look like anybody is helping right now but just an update did a little starting fluid and first time sounded like it almost started but it didn't and it sounds like its getting compression the throttle body is sucking but other then that...thats all i can do right nwo

No one ever said it was trying to be a sports car and like I said in the post I don't want anybody coming in here and saying its because its a chevy or anything like that i figured the s2000 community could help out another s2000 person but nevermind thanks anyways though

I was JK, calm down.

It has nothing to do with the Camaro trying to be a sports car.

The problem is that its a Chevy.

My guess is the spark plugs are soaked/fouled, from all the crank sensor issues.

Typical GM.

lol j/k... yea you might have flooded the engine with all the cranking...
Check the timing belt....if it has one that is

Thanks for the help but I finally figured out what it was. Went to check to see if it was sparking and no spark from the wire so I took the ICM out and got it tested and it was gone haha so it is running now and no matter what make of a car it is I will work on it because I love learning new things and I don't wanna go just knowing Honda's. Thanks though mods you can close out thread
