Default Looking for the Gurus and the wisemen...

Gentlemen your mission today (if you choose to accept it) is to diagnose and recommend repairs to a vehicle you have never seen. I'm on an ongoing search for the impossible, a MKIII in decent running condition for $1500 or less, or at least a cheaply/easily repairable unit. Last weeks Supra had overheating issues without enough information to diagnose, this weeks Supra also is short on information but I'll will get and provide what I can.


What I have thus far.
1988 Supra Turbo
Engine rebuilt (top and bottom end) 500mi ago
New heads and Cam
Cold Fuel Sensor recently replaced

Post rebuild the sensor went out and was replaced by Toyota, the car ran and drove like a champ for several weeks and then just wouldn't start up one morning, it still cranks just fine, it just wont actually start. I'm looking at getting the car for around $1300 and I'm working with a budget of roughly $200 to repair the vehicle to meet my $1500 budget. This is all up in the air so have fun with it.
