Question 1991 Eagle Talon TSI

OK I have a question for you guys...Im looking to buy this Talon its the TSI FWD, the guy wants 500$ for it and its in great shape just 1 problem....it doesnt start...the guy replaced the timing belt, changed out the head, bearings, rods, headgasket, pistons the works...also changed out ignation coil, plugs and wires....it ran perfet then he parked it and now it wont start. It cranks but gets no spark to the plugs...what do u think could be the problem? Abvoisily its an electrical issue but what could it be?

For $500 I would say buy it, as long as he has all the receipts for the work done to it, or can prove some other way that the work was done, and decent quality parts were used. Then afterward you can figure out what is wrong with it, but for $500, it's worth a shot.

I realize its worth buying the car for 500$ even if i was just to part it out but i dont understand why it would run perfect all day then over nite it wouldnt create a spark to the plugs

Re: 1991 Eagle Talon TSI

Leaking caps on the ECU board?

Mouse chewed through the wiring?

Bad CAS?

Who knows....It could be 100 different things
