car wont start...ls vtec
I just got everything in the car ready to start and i unplugged the dizzy to prime it...ok everything is fine. I plug the dizzy back in to start it and it still just turns over but wont start up. the timing marks all lined up on the t belt and i move the dizzy back and forth and still nothin...do yall think the dizzy or cap would be bad from sitting for like 2 months??? It worked fine when i pulled it off my car. No check engine light, i pull the plugs and they are slightly wet, like not enough fire, you can smell the gas in the exhaust pipe with a lil smoke, it jumps a bit like its getting fire every now and then while cranking...would my battery being low prevent it from getting good fire....
any help would be appreciated...

i think its getting spark cause theres a lil smoke in the exhaust pipe but it smells real gassy...im letting my battery charge over night and imma try it again in the morning...spark is pretty much all im looking at now cause i know its fueling and timing is correct...

Instead of guessing and spending money, just ******* check for spark and go from there .
Also, double-check all your grounds.

Yeah, you can go to the big red SEARCH! button in the upper right and type in "firing order" with "92-200 Civic" and "Archived Posts" checked. Knock yourself out.
