I believe there is a cable that goes between the battery and the main fuse box. I'd check this as they are known to go bad.

When was the fuel filter last replaced? I think sometimes they disintegrate and clog producing little to no fuel pressure. It is my belief this was one of the problems I had initially when I got my car.

Technically all the SIPS, ETC can be removed. Not saying I'd want to do it, or would recommend doing it, but from a technical standpoint they can be removed - just like safeties on industrial equipment, furnaces, and weapons... I wonder what the insurance company's take will be on it in the event th...

I suggest pulling a spark plug & coil out, hooking up a jumper for ground and trying to crank it, look for a spark. Could still be the immobilizer circuit. If you have someone with VIDA locally, you may find codes set that OBDII won't show. The immobilizer on these cars will allow you to crank i...

Also make sure it isn't too tight while attempting to adjust it. I've seen people tighten it before adjusting the tension, make sure you aren't doing this.

Leave coil hooked up - think it's a 4 or 5 pin connector... Then place a ground wire to the spot circled in blue, and also place one to the outside of the spark plug to ground. When cranking, you should see a bright spark. Don't run one to the X marked location - center electrode or you'll never get...

'99 to '95 is ok as long as you keep the manifolds from '95 and cvvt unplugged.
'95 to '99 isn't possible because of cvvt.

Whoops, sorry about that! =)

At least remove that duct tape and try some form of epoxy or see if you can replace what was broken.
