Sounds like a ground or you could of switched up a plug or something. i could be wrong but thats what I would check first. Check to make sure your grounds are hooked up

When the engine won't start, have you checked for spark at the plugs and listened for whether the fuel pump primes? Is spark bright white? Any CEL codes?

kc_kc

yea their is spark white yellow. test at the spark wire. will b18 wire fit too. got to try that if its work or not.

Former User

Is this when the engine won't start. And there should be no yellowish color, just bright white with a difficult to see tinge of blue.

Does the fuel pump prime?

kc_kc

yes... the car was runing and i just die suddenly.

Former User

Yellowish spark could mean a blown coil.

kc_kc

kool i get that tomorrow and see what happen then thanks but fell free to put any news ideas in thanks.

Former User

Resistance test the coil before replacing it.

kc_kc

oh thanks it up now. thanks
