Re: car won't start
Are you getting the 2 sec fuel pump prime at ignition to ON? How about fuel pressure per specs at the front fuel rail?

Re: car won't start
Thats good and you sure there is spark? Did you get it scanned for any possible history odb-ii codes? And are the fuel injectors firing?

Re: car won't start
I took the coil wires off and was getting good spark between the 2 posts. The codes that came back were random misfire, mass airflow & heat oxygen sensor #po135, po#107 and po#300

Re: car won't start
Disconnect the MAF sensor and see what it does.

Re: car won't start
Did you check all relevant fuses to make none are blown. Like to the PCM module and sensors. Check IGN1 - UH at the main engine compartment fuse box. 80 pin connectors at the PCM module?

Re: car won't start
The P0502 DTC is an issue with the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). Located on the right side transaxle extension.
How old are your spark plugs and ignition wires?

Re: car won't start
Is the P0300 a history or current DTC?

Re: car won't start
I pulled the plugs and they were soaked with gas. I cleaned them and reinstalled them and cleared the codes, no issues at this time. I am now thinking the whole problem may have been a bad fuel regulator dumping too much fuel.

Re: car won't start
It could have. Did you replace the O-rings on the new regulator? (if it didnt come with new ones).
