i just put some injector cleaner in it yesterday and changed the fuel filter as well. then tonite i went to leave my girlfriends house and it wouldnt start. it just turned over but nothing. no CELs, fuel pump is priming, just put injector cleaner in it, fuel filter, replaced the ignition coil, it has the msd on it, spark plug wires.

ok well today i bought new msd spark wires. and i have the blaster 2 coil on the car. and the wire going from the coil to the dizzy was messed up and i found it out the hard way lol, i went to grab the wire and it shock the s**t out of me, i replaced all the wires. and it helped out alot but it still backfires and sputter a little bit at high rpms? i put some fuel system cleaner in it and injector cleaner, so hopefully that will clear the rest of it up.
