car wont start, need help please
hey guys,
i've been on the search for about an hour now, and have not found an answer yet....so im asking for help.
my car doesn't start, and i'm not getting any spark... but there's a bigger story behind it. I did a compression test. I did the usual steps before the test, take off the ecu fuse, take off fuel injector clips, take out all spark plugs, etc. I get 180 across the board, and i put everything back together. my friend sits in the car and puts it in gear. Me, not knowing, i start the car and it jumps a few feet and the car shuts down. I then throw the car back in neutral and try to start the car, and nothing happens. my fuel pump is priming, i think i'm getting fuel cause i smell it. I checked for spark, and i'm not getting anything. What do you think happened? did the launch knock my timing out of place? or is my distributor crapped out? its getting late, and its really cold out, so i came inside to get some answers. Please help! i'm lost

no it wont
i think its from the coil inside the distributor, try to replace it.

Re: (lucidvtec)

Re: (krazn)
exact same thing happened to me a few weeks ago...my coil burnt out from doing a compression test...next time you do it unplug the wires to the distributor just for extra safety...

Re: (cmGSR916)
yeah dude, definately. i've done compression test like hundreds of time before....and finally messed this one up by not unplugging the wire....that or the distributor was already on its way to death....and i kinda pushed it over the edge.
