change cap/rotor vehicle will not start
ok... i did everything accordingly, and the car ran for about 5 minutes. i drove it to the trash can and it died. now, it will not start up.
i dabbed a bit of PB blaster on the rotor screw to remove... there is no sign of moisture. what i think happened is, i bent the ignition coil spring when i put back on the cap...
my car is blocking the trash... people are getting angry~!
UP AND RUNNING... WAS MY IGNITION COIL.

Turn key from off to ON(II). Do you hear the low humming noise of the fuel pump priming for 2 seconds.
Spark - need spare spark plug and buddy
Click spark link in my signature.

Re: change cap/rotor vehicle will not start
i removed the cap and the screw is still there... from what i understand, it will work with or without the screw. some autoparts stores sell it "push and play".
RONJ... i have fuel... i can hear the fuel pump prime.
what happens when i DO NOT get spark?

Def sounds like symptoms of a blown coil. Exact same thing happened to my teg a few months back. New cap, new rotor, went to start and no go. Coils tend to do this in our cars, more so if they been in there for a while. Hope u get it running

Re: change cap/rotor vehicle will not start
how do i do this with the coil? need a tool or can borrow a friend? ha~! if it so happens to be the coil, do i go OEM or autozone? AND what if it is not the coil...?
well, it started... and died while in idle. i am not sure if that makes a difference though.

I think you need a multi meter to test the coil, you can get it at a auto store or walmart.
You can get a coil from the parts store for about 70 bucks.
