HELP!!!!!!
HELP!!!!!!
ok well my car wont start. I have the firing order right. I have spark to the wires and the coil has spark. I know that the plugs have fuel going to them or whatever. I have tried to spray starter fluid in the TPI intake, but still it does not fire. I just replaced my plugs, but they are full of fuel now. I let them dry out then try to crank it, but still nothing. I dont get I have fuel, I have spark, but it does not fire....please help me.

That was my thought as well 85 Berl. I've done that once myself (not on my car tho
)w/a very negative effect
,, lesson well learned & not forgotten

ok well the thing is it was running fine the other day alls I did was change the spark plug wires. I took them off of being stupid. But I found the firing order and put them in the right place, but nothing happens. I checked for spark at coil and at the spark plug wire and I do have spark. I dont get what it is.

Are you sure you started the #1 wire in the right position on the distributor ?

Make sure you followed the firing order clockwise around the distributor (not saying you didn't).
If you've got gas & you've got spark, the problem seems like it can only be with either firing order or timing.

ya I tried the order that it supposed to be and everything, but I tried this just to try different stuff today and I put the #1 spark plug on the part near the firewall on distrubutor. Its one of them near the firewall and I went counterclock wise and some of the cylinders are trying to fire, but when I put them in the right order and go clock wise nothing fires.
