u didnt happen to fry your coil by chance did u? that happened to me when i replaced my wires, long story short, wire fell off while driving and grounded the coil against the rad support. dead car.

i just replaced mine honestly cuz i had an extra sitting around so i didnt waste too much time testing the old one. just elimated fuel and spark as reasons for no start. replaced the first thing that could cause no spark. it will crank over but wont fire. if you got a person to help you, pull a wire out and turn it over with the plug close to something metal and see an spark? go from there.

It happens to the best of us. Believe me, none of us are perfect, reguardless of what they want you to believe.

for getting it figured out.

Sometimes just stepping back or having a second person check it out is the best thing to do.
