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.

 

my car did the same thing....
try this ..... replace the 10a
engine control fuse and the 2 or 3
f/p control fuse..... i was getting gas alright but no fire... replaced the fuse
and it fired right up.. pretty wierd

89,

The other two vital components are compression and timing. When you remove the plugs, check compresion.

You can also check the timing chain by removing the distributor cap and observing the rotor while you rotate the crankshaft by hand, forward and reverse. If there is a lot of play in the timing chain, the distributor rotation will lag from the crank rotation. That being the case, the timing chain may have slipped.

Another possibility is that the engine is flooded. Spark plugs soaked with gasoline don't fire well. You can check that when the plugs are removed as well.

ok I will try the fuses, but this is what happen. Me being stupid I changed the spark plug wires. I should have taken 1 off at a time, but I took them all off at sametime, then screwed up firing order. Now I have the firing order right, but it wont start. I changed 6 of the spark plugs I can get to right now so.

 

ok its run and starts good now....I do not know why but it seems the distrubutor was put it wrong or something. The firing order is different but works. The #1 wire is like 2 terminals to the left.
