Pleas Help me Start my 850

I have a 1995 850 (non turbo, DOHC)I have read all of the FAQ's and the previous posts and tried eveything. It cranks well, all 5 plugs have good spark, fuel rail has pressure at the shrader valve, I tried a new Cam Positioning sensor, I cleaned the MAF, I disconnected the TPS it wants to start but wont' please help I can't walk to work another day.
I haven't tried the main relay, not sure where that is at.

Sincerely,
mick

I am not expert, but I read a lot of what people have done and you have tried most everything I could think of. Except for one thing, and that's just holding the gas pedal to the floor and cranking and cranking til it starts. Make sure you have a fully charged battery or maybe even connected to an extenal charger.

Like I said I am just basing this on what I have heard other people do. You may want to wait til somebody who knows more than me gives you advise though.

I'm thinking the same directions as JimKW. Do you have the ability to check for compression or - if not - does it sound like it is cranking over faster than normal?

I have cured the problem buy dumping a teaspoon of motor oil into each cylinder through the spark plug holes. It will kill all mosquitoes for the next year after the smoke cloud but it will run again.

Adding a spoon of oil in cylinder to get some compression back is definately a very good idea by OZARK LEE. I have tried it in past and it works for sure if compression is the only thing that motor needs to spurrrrrr...

2 relays

hi
the fuel relay ( # 103 )
is located under the FUSE BOX on the drivers side of teh car
near the windshield.

to test it...have someone put their fingers on it
while you try to start the car...it should give a
clicking sound that can be felt..showing that its working.
if it doesnt...get a new one...
if it does click...
try doing the samething with the FUEL INJECTOR RELAY
which is located just on top of the FAN SHROUD..its a GREY colored relay
all by itself...as conpared to the FAN RELAYS while are MULTIPLES together.

let me know the results...

thx
