Hi everyone,

My Del Sol is cranking, but it is not starting.

This year I had to park my car outside during the winter.(In a Car Shelter)

This winter I started it, no problem and left it running for a while and went for a little run.

The day after, I wanted to do the same thing, but it was not starting. Since the battery was very low, I took it and charged it.

After this we started having a lot of snow, so it was impossible for me to use it, so I left it waiting.

Now, the other day I plugged in the battery and went to start it, but the problem started.

The distributor is brand new from last year

The Battery, the starter and the alternator are 3 years old.

I have an aftermarket Short Ram Intake and the filter was changed 1 year ago.

So I started to troubleshoot the issues.

  1. I can hear the gas pump when turning the key

  2. I checked all the spark plugs. (they were full of gas and old.)

So I installed brand new ones.

It still wouldn't start. (I verified all the cylinder and I had sparks on all of them)

  1. I left the spark plugs hole opened in a hot weather for 1 hour, to dry out the cylinder.

  2. I verified all the fuses and they are all good.

  3. I disconnected the fuse for the injector, cranked the car to empty out the the cylinder (just in case it was flooded) and still no success.

  4. I opened the valve cover gasket and the timing belt looks very good.(no crack) (I had a Mechanic from Honda to verify the timing belt and the timing 2-3 years ago)

  5. I added brand new fuel.

I am a little bit lost right now, as I am no professional and I would like to get some of your suggestions...

I really appreciate all your help :)
