Engine cranks but will not start

Hi,

The one thing I'm thinking is the plug wires were not re-installed correctly. Did you reinstall the spark plug wires in the same order as they were removed? Was the distributor rotor properly installed?

If you look at pic 1, it shows the firing order. That is how the plug wires need to be and which cylinder they go to. Also, confirm that the coil wire (location highlighted) is fully installed.

Also, if you look at pic 2, I circled a locking nut. Make sure the rotor is installed correctly and tight.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care and God Bless,

Joe

Hi,

I'm glad to hear you got it started. As far as the other question, I need you to start a new thread. We are trying to keep the threads specific to one topic. Just copy and paste it.
