Ok, I know I could search for this but don't really have the time too. I'm about to buy a 97 Talon ESI for cheap, but it won't start, changed the battery so it's not that. What are the other possiblities that the problem could be, other than the obvious starter, coil problems. Any help will be great.

it could be no spark, no fuel or no air getting into the engine. You need all three to fire. Since you dont have time to search I dont have time to elaborate.

You've gotta give some more input. Does it turn over at all? Does it seem to attempt to start, any sputtering? If it does turn over does it sound like its at least making some compression or does it turn over very freely?
