OK, here are the symptoms over the last few days:

1. Car has been hard to start, takes about 6 to 10 seconds to start.
2. Car has been dying out and catching itself at low RPM in first gear.
3. Car Overheated when my dad was going to pick me up from work, he stoped, and now it won't start at all.

I checked the ECU, it has a Code 15 (Ignition Output Signal).
Where do I start? How do I get it running again?

Thanks for the help everyone.

Also he needs the adjusting bolt for the power steering pump (I lost it in the huge black hole between the block and intake manifold.. ) If anyone can send us one, it would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Possibilities...

1) Main relay.
2) Faulty/bad ignitor (been happening a lot lately, search)
3) Faulty/stuck thermostat.

I too have lost part in that same black hole, lol... like alternator nut!

We found out why it wouldn't start.
Dave put a rag next to the battery so we would not have to hunt for one when we would check the oil, not knowing that the ait intake was right there.

The air intake sucked it in, and that is what caused it not to start.

On my way home driving it, another coolant hose blew, this one was next to the firewall on the passenger side. what is this one for?
