no start sometimes 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Donnie Watts on  Fri Aug 12 03:23 CST 2005 [RELATED]

i have been reading faqs and looking thru the posts to find some matching problems but having trouble searching. when trying to start most times it kicks right off smoothly runs nice and no troubles. warm or cold, sometimes not so nice. the starter turns and feels like it runs into a brick wall. dash warning lights almost go out and if i hold the key it may do that multiple times. then it cranks and cranks and doesnt hope to catch. i open the hood and check box for codes on 2 and 6 always 111. wait and eventually it will start 2 minutes or 10 minutes later. the fan belts will screech trying to put juice back in the battery but it will run fine and set no codes. in attempt to fix i have replaced starter, battery, battery terminals, spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel injection relay, and lastly the speed sensor behind motor. with each thing replaced it seemed like it made a difference until a few days then same story. except battery, that made no difference at all. sounds like spark happens while piston is moving up and stops it dead. if anyone knows this sound please help!
