    94 sunbird

    Bought a non running 94 Pontiac Sunbird sight unseen for $150. Cranks but no start. Very little rust and 92K miles. New exhaust engine back, 4 new tires, new alternator. I am going to find out why it won't start and hopefully flip it or keep it so I don't have to use the truck as much.

    The coolant is low or empty. #2 cylinder has 125psi all other cylinders 175psi. Looks like just a head gasket if I am lucky.

    Sunbirds sell pretty good around here. Still cant figure out why but, running with all the new stuff that is on yours, that would be close to $1000 here

    Crank position sensor, 90% likely on that, notorious problem for GM back then.
