#309498 You owe me a headache for reading/translating that.
Is it getting fuel? How did it run when it was running for a minute? How old is the gas in the tank? Sounds like spark is good. Is the check engine light on?

#309512 LOL im new to this man. plus im using a chip ass laptop so it will skip words or go on cap on its own lol. i do my best
but yea, i the gas didnt have much so i filled in about $5 which is about 2-3 gallons. needle went up a little. at that time when it stated i aint hear any knocking or weird sounds. just "click, click, click rrmmmm" click as in turn the piece of the ignition(idk name but it connects to the wiring under the dash). like i said believe started and ran for less then a minute i would say and when it started i believe i had it hook to the power terminal and negtive hooked on the lil piece of metal off the starter/tranny. sorry i cant remember lol. my lttle bro was in front of the car when i was turning it. he said it was making a wierd lil click sound nea the tranny/starter. i left it as that told i got out late due to a lil rain in boston when i got to the garage i wanted start to taking the starter out to go checck at the nearest autozone to test it which i aint have the time to do...wasting it on painting my new alloys color for my EG...
