aftermath of a fire...
alright....after putting on a new minifold, i did a stupid thing....i forgot to put one of the O-rings for one of the fuel injectors back into the manifold......when the car started it caught fire and engulfed the entire back half of my engine......well....put the fire out....evenything *seems* okay.....but now it wont start....it was turning over just fine earlier today......now its trying to start...everything sound okay and no odd smells...it just wont turn over......
givin the fact i had a pretty good fire..
im going to have to replace probably my plugs, injectors and all the wiring to my injectors.....does anyone have any other suggestions?

spark and fuel makes fire...fix your wiring to make sure there isnt any exposed wires first before you actually fry something important.
and post pictures im a fire bug.

Spark and fuel are also required for the engine to run. I wasn't implying to not fix the charred wiring, just to try and pinpoint the problem before he starts cutting up the harness and possibly causing more problems. Also hopefully he cleaned the fuel from the engine bay preventing another fire while testing for spark lol.

someone already asked for pics....
why do you need to replace your spark plugs? if you have to replace them because they are chared you have biiiig issues...see whats burnt, fix / replace, then see where you stand. check all your vac lines to because they will succumb to fire quite easily.
