Laser Turbo won't start

I have a 2L 16 valve Laser Turbo. I changed all the belts and idlers including the timing belt. Put it all back together and she ran like a top for about 5000 miles. I went to a friends house and visited for about half an hour. When I came back out and got in she wouldn't start, engine seems to turn over real slow. It has a new battery in plus I hooked up my other car to it and she still turned over real heavy. I thought that it may be the starter dragging so we towed her to see if she would start ... yes it is a stick shift. Pulled her along and put on the ignition, slipped her into second and let out the clutch .... nothing. Engine just turnes at it own pace. I pulled the oil pan off and noticed that I can turn the rear balance shaft with my fingers from the bottom ???
I know the front balance shaft has a pully and belt that goes around the crank .. anyone know what the deal is about the rear one ?
I have a Haynes repair manual that tell me nothing about the rear one.
Any help will be appreciated .... thanks
Sam

Maybe if this was the laser forum, i'd know. But it isnt! and I dont! Sorry :grinno:

wtf is a turbo laser any ways...... pointer laser with a turbo charger on it?

lol, its the rip of the eclipse... try the DSM fourms dude.

oooo, okay.

Whoa, what's with all the threads in weird places lately? The other day I got a PM that sounded like a general question to everybody that should have been in the problem diagnosis area...

:rofl: Thats funny dude.

Maybe he saw you fit to answer the question?

feel special guys... everyone comes to the camaro guys for answers... wonder why.....hint hint...

Thats a pretty good way to put it, Cuda.

Iam not sure what you mean by that rear balancer???
But your problem is different. If it doesnt run then theres either no spark, no fuel pressure, or no comression. Check for these. Also there might a clutch proplem. Thats why it wony push start and the starter can hardly turn it over.

people go to ud because we are a larger community than mopar guys. All cars have the same stuff in them.

actually people go to us cause we actually do our own work to our cars. and theres more of us :icon16:

I was about to move this thread but for some reason I feel that may cause flamealapulluzza, So to the thread starter, the Ecipse/talon/laser forum I am sure would be able to help you out better so please create another thread there. Good luck

flamealapulluzza.. huh. Very nice name for something that is hard to say!

What kind of gas mlg does a 2.4 volvo diesel get? Sorry about jacking the tread.

dude please tell me u own a camaro or a t/a...a volvo??? thats your second car right?

Help my 1994 M1 tank wont start.

i did all this happy shit to it and it still wont start, please help


i have 1019 horse drawn carragie and it wont move... i replaced the horses but it still wont move.

dont take my msg the wrong way or anything, but i have noticed this lately to, you have a problem with your dodge stratus, mecury horizzon, hardley davison, w/e the hell you have please put it in the right spot.


also i have also noticed alot latey of bullshit stuff being told to ppl like this:

how do i get a better launch? answered> put a bigger engine in it
how do i make my car awd? > sell your car and buy one with awd
how do i make more power? > sell you car and buy something worth putting money into

on and on and on

look if your telling ppl shit like this and its the best you got to say, just flat out STOP its f-ing annoying, ppl dont wanna sell their car specially something they really love the car or just bought becasue it was the only f-ing thing they could afford, you think ppl buy used cars becasue they have nothing better to do? some of us can afford brand f-ing new, and wdf is wrong with trying to plan a way of making your car faster? first you plan out everything your gonna need then once you know everything you need you can pick the best spot to start, and then since you know exactly what you need you can shop around looking for the best prices.

also i have noticed that if you ask a question that seems impossible to most one guy will try to break it to you easy..

sorry bud but thats to much money and it wont really be worth it...

then some asshole will pop in and be like

thats impossible to do go out and buy something better :loser:

i mean i dont wanna step on ppls toes and i know im prob gonna get yelled at, but look how would you like it if you ask a question on making more power with you camaro and someone tells you to sell that pos and buy a rocket ship.

i really dont know what to so... its getting bad, no matter what fourm you turn to anymore its like the best reponce you can get is sell your car and/or put a bigger engine in it... i mean its not so bad on camaro section, but lets see, i have been to the honda accord section.. its bad cocky ppl, that theink they know everything, i been to the cav section and its horrible like no one knows anything, or they dont try to help you out at all. i also was some place else asked about a tranny being the same trough the years it was on the vehicle and the dude that replyed assumed i was a complete retard and told me 'no, not all transmissions are the same, diffrent companys use diffrent trannys'. now if your fourm is anything like that... bring your vehicle over here and we will try to help you.

i guess this in a rant / venting type message, but i donno i kinda feel happy at this point that something has been said.

oh and to add to my point about selling your car as advice:

how do you correct torque steer?

"Sell your FWD car and don't buy a another one car. It’s just that ease. :)"

Yeah I thought that response was a little messed up.

But I do agree on you with some things, like when someone asks for suggestions to make a V6 better, someone says buy a V8..

thats exactly what im talking about. its starting to get annoying, and like i siad we dont know much about other cars, we mostly know about camaros, but if you are having problems like what i have experienced in other fourms then bring your problem here and we can try to help you out or help you find the info you need, there is no reason to put up with that kind of bullshit over a simple question. is rediculous, shit i know i will try to help ppl out, but if you post in the wroung fourm right off the bat then something is wrong, like this guy, he posted and im pretty sure he hasnt been back since. and he has 90 posts.. maybe it was an accident and he thought he was in the right section. i donno.

I have two TAs (1986 ,1995) Before had two camaros (Iroc and a 6) and a cutlass supreme. The old TA is in almost mint condition and iam selling it to make some cash. So iam looking for some real cheap diesel car that would be good on gas to drive around for me and family. Rabbit inline 4 ,volvo inline 6, etc. (I am in university battling gas prices and insurance)

viper......ditto....well put.......iv'e wanted to say that since i have been here

dude please tell me u own a camaro or a t/a...a volvo??? thats your second car right?

I did post it to the correct site, after I sent it, it disapeared and I didn't know where it went. Thanks for telling me and thanks for the insults.
Sorry to see that a usefull site like this is turning into a chat room.
A simple pointer in the correct direction would have been surfice ...
And too the wise guy who asked what a Laser Turbo is, it is one of those little cars that you can't keep up with.
Happy gas mileage ...

Ignor this quote ... seems to be a problem with my profile and thing are getting posted in the wrong places.

this should be locked before it gets anymore out of hand.

yea, im just tired of seeing them half ass statments about sell your car and buy this... hello!, earth to fucko!, dont you think if i was able to afford or find one of those i would have gotten it to begin with? and you figure by them time these ppl wanna do something with it, the have already sunk thousands into it fixing lil shit here and there now to sell it only to buy another car will all those smae f-ing problems on the next car... i dont see how it would be worth it. instead of spending all that money to re fix all those lil problems that you got fix on your car that extra money you can sink into your v6 to v8 swap

Wow, you need to settle the hell down Viper...

im straight, im not over worked its just my opinion

well quitcherbitchin' then... J/K

well put thoug.

Iam so horny!

Should be locked. Or let die. I agree with vipers point though, just slice the anger in half. I haven't noticed it enough to lose sleep about or anything.

either have i, but its every place and it very very bad and lots of disrecpect in some of them. (fourms)

Yeah I can't stand the disrespect thing, it pisses me off. I don't know, maybe it will get better, espicially sense people are taking note of it.

viper has a point.

ever since i've been here this site has been half chat/half automotive.... its just how it turned out... there are other sites that are dedicated to strict automotive and other that are strict autochats....

now, as viper was stating, about people not giving whole/just answers... well... think about it.... if someones going around asking 5000 questions about something that they will never be able to do or afford (is sensible)why should someone bother to answer it.... a lot of the times the answers you get are actualy more sensible than the answer your looking for.....once in a while, there are on the other hand, cases where people are just dicks...
