Ok need help
Ok i did what you guys said discconnected the maf and it still did what its been doing....
SO i moved on....
I disconnected my Accell HEI Super Coil and thought, hmm what a good way to prove i'm getting np spark then to remove the coil and try starting it and it turned over but did the same darn thing, just turned over.
So its defiantely not getting spark...
SO while dissasembling the Cap, noticed on a couple(2) plugs my step-father back in the day forgot to put grease on those connectors and they had turned a dry white color from corrosion, thats not good is it...
Well so i took the old ignition module out and i replaced it, I used lots and lots of thw hite grease it gave me as per you guys tend to tlel people that a lot in the forums i've read...
as i reassemble the dizzy. are there any things in particular i should look for?
Right now i'm taking abreakfast break.
Also, i'll search if noone post quick enough, what is the correct order to hook these wires back up to the cap, i sorta forgot to mark them, but the order is normal so. if you could post it that'd be greatly appreciated....

ok i found the plug order on ym own, anyways, i reassembled everything to the exact way it was, excluding the plug order i put it to where it should be, whether it used to be or not.
Then i tired cranking the darn car and still nothing, the battery is running low, it barely cranked over the motor, so i need to charge it now...
goona go out now and start probing with my check light...

Did you remove the distributor at all? If you did...it is highly possible that you are 180 out. I have ran into this problem several times.

Install a brain.. make sure it doesn't go in 180° out.
Let's think abou this for a minute. You never removed your distributor. But you're going to just try turning it 180° anyway? Do yourself a g0ddamn favor. Go celebrate Chrismtas. Forget about your damn car. When the season's over, give yourself a gift. Bring your car to someone who actually knows what the hell they are doing.
I agree with LJ in the other thread. Get a Honda. No third gen deserves to be subject to sheer stupidity such as you are implimenting upon yours.
