HOOKED THE BATTERY CABLES BACKWARDS AND BLEW MOST OF THE FUSES WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED ON. i REPLACED THE FUSES AND FIXED THE CABLES. THE LIGHTS COME ON AND ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT THE ENGINE WON'T START. wHATS WRONG? Do I need to replace the coil?

What you need to do first is check for spark . pull the spark plug wire off and ground it close to the engine .. have a helper turn the engine over , if you see a blue spark between the frame and the wire then the coil is good .Test the coil if no spark .

Reply back if you need any help.
