EmeraldBlueZenki is an unknown quantity at this point
Update and recap:
- New battery
- New ignition switch
- New fuel pump (Walbro)
- New fuel filter
- New coolant temp sensor
- New knock sensor
- Vacuum at 19 on idle so no leaks
- Car pulls nicely after timing set properly
- Alternator is fine
- Relays don't click anymore (was a bad ground)
- Swapped coil pack for a known working set and didn't change anything
- Reset ECU to see if stored codes are keeping it from starting, didn't help (disconnected battery and pressed the brake for a bit to drain any left over power and let it sit for 5 mins)
- Ecu connection is not loose

Symptoms: Car will start 10 times no problem, and then on the 11th try it wont start, and it wont start again for at least a few hours if not more. Car always cranks hard but doesn't fire.

4 months into this headache and I've had no luck =/

It'd be so much easier to deal with if the car just didn't start AT ALL.

As always, any input is extremely welcome. What am I missing/haven't checked?

Thanks
