Thread: 91 stealth RT won't start

    91 stealth RT won't start

    Coopkill and I went to look at a 91 stealth RT that is up for sale for $1500.00 on craigslist. We wanted to fix the car for him mainly not really buy the car although it is in decent shape.

    Problem is it will turn over when it wants to basically. Owner stated it will usually start right up when it's cold but after driving it for a while and trying to start it again it doesn't.

    Owner said he purchased a new ECU and had some other mechanical work done to it, coopkill may remember all of the issues.

    Kelvin (jimmy the cow) suggested it may be the crank angle sensor halls sensor or something like that (in the 91's).

    We told him we'd rather see it fixed for him to enjoy than sell it.

    Narrowed down to possible MFI relay issue...

    Said a mechanic grounded one of the pins on the mfi and it would start and run for a couple days, then back to not firing... MFI, ECU are new.

    Help them, for they know not that which they do not know!
