I have an 86 Camaro RS 2.8FI.. I just went out and bought some new spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, distributor rotor, fuel filter, pcv filter, and control module.

I put everything on it and it still wont start, ive tested the spark plugs and they are firing, ive rechecked the firing order about 6 times now.

I think it might be the wire lengths because i forgot to mark where the longest went and so on, and if its not that please let me know of other suggestions. im very lost as to why its not starting.

 

Do you even know if you put on the wires on right? I would als check your fuel pressure.

 

Your car would not start before you changed out all the unneccessary parts? I gather this because of the "still won't start" comment.

Plugs and wires would have to conspire to fail simultaiously to cause a no start, very unlikely but a badly flooded engine could foul the plugs.

While a distributor rotor could burn through, if you are getting good fire to the plugs that is not likley the case.

Fuel filter to be bad enough to cause a no start would be causing many problems long before the no start. A long period of vapor lock issues would preceed an all out failure.

Crankcase (PCV) filter could not cause a no start.

I assume you refer to the ignition module when you say control module, did you check for spark before replacing the ignition module?

If you have spark, check if you are getting fuel (fuel pressure and injectors firing).

If you suspect you are not getting fuel, shoot some carb cleaner into the plenum and crank it. Be careful as a lean backfire is a real probability. It will light off briefly then die.

If you are getting fuel, and spark but still no start, make sure the spark is at the right time. It is possible that you have jumped time (timing chain).

Good luck

 

i think that is the most impressive post ive ever seen on here. right to the point on everything.
