Default please HELP

I have a 1993 dodge stealth v6 single cam Naturally Aspirated, and she doesn't like to start, once i get her started she runs great however its getting her started. Now im gonna say now i am no mechanic however i know a fair amount. So that being said this is what i have tried and changed. I have done plugs wires cap and roter on it the spark is a good white spark. When im trying to start the car the fuel pump IS running, also the starter is turning all the belts. I haven't check the fuel pressure b/c there isn't the thing on the fuel rail to check it. so idk and i really don't wanna just start throwing money at it b/c i don't have money to throw at it. Any help would be appreciated

the starter seems to be getter harder to engage?

I'd look into replacing the starter itself, or the ignition/switch.

did you get it fixed? We do ecu rebuilds, contact me if you still need it done, we can fix most of them.

K so im surprised this post is still on here after how long its been, finally got my car on the road about a month ago now and tonight driving down the highway she just turns off.... and will not restart with all the previously stated symptoms... so it seems my ECU may very well be dead again i dont know for sure, however, im looking for some ideas as to what may be causing my ECU's to fry ... b/c i dont want this to be a regular expense like tire or gas.

Did you install another used ECU, or a rebuilt ECU?

The capacitors went out on the replacement ecu then.

The only way to solve the problem permanently, is to have your ECU rebuilt (if it is rebuildable), or get a rebuilt ECU.

What is the part number for your ECU? I may have some in stock.

*edit* Just checked, I have 2 93 SOHC ECU's out to our rebuilder right now.

It's $300 with a lifetime warranty, + rebuildable core ($200 core charge, refunded once we receive your rebuildable core of the same part number).
