Doobie

morning folks got a problem im hopin the pros here can help me with, at my wits end trying to figure this out mines a 93 legacy wagon with 200,000 that i simply love to death the other morning i started it up and i had this really odd noise coming from under the hood, sounded like a coffee can full of marbles i stopped the engine and checked the oil, knowing full well it was not the oil. i decided to start it again , let it warm up for 15 minutes and the noise 98 % went away. i drove to work fine at lunchtime, it wouldnt kick over, at 4:30 it started and drove home fine next morning, nothing, wont start and still cant get it started. what i have 2.2 dohc a very healthy crank spark from 1 and 4 good compression gas flow from the lines it wont start with starting fluid thru the "fat hose intake thingy" plugs are dirty, but not unlike any ive ever seen before that ive pulled out im thinkin electrical at this point, some type of switch, but i cant attach that to the noise, if the noise is even part of why this happened or just coincedence ? i was going to try to take the edge cover off the timing belt to peek inside but im hoping that's a last resort anybody have any ideas on something else i can check been reading this board for the last few days, excellent info ive gained here thanks in advance Gino
