good day!

after curing the rough idle...
here we go again... gremlins...

this time... the car wont start...
the starter cranks but the engine wont fire up...

changed d spark plugs already and still the same...
it seems that the cylinders get flooded...
coz when i removed the plugs... they are wet with fuel...

the pump was going bad d other day so i replaced them...
(pressure was dropping when i accelerate... down to around 25-30psi)

what should i look at now?

Crankshaft position sensor, ignition power at coil,

let car rest to drain or evaporate excess fuel, then try again. I've seen problems like this before and cranking the car for a long duration (10-15 seconds) while pumping gas pedal (allowing more airflow) will usually do the trick.

was wondering too...

when i reached for the timing belt, it was quite loose (meaning...
i can push it with my finger. however when i cranked the engine a bit...
it tightened up... is this normal? or maybe my timing is off?)

x2 on the crank position sensor. mine broke last year it really won't start. WOW you really have only 60,000kms. on clock?

if your getting spark then hold the prddle to the floor when you crank it, this stops more fuel from dumping in there.

prddle? or pedal? wouldnt it give more fuel? also, it seems that the spark is weak... yellowish... anything that i should check?

Dry the plugs and try again. If no spark check for power to coil, if power there pop the cap off the dist and have a look.
