make sure the rotor in the dizzy didnt fall off.

checked it and it was okay.i was thinking maybe injectors are bad and leaking fuel cuz i cleaned my throttle body

Mine would do the same thing after sitting for awhile. Try putting in new spark plugs and turning the engine over 1 revolution at a time with the key and turn key off and repeat and hopefully it will crank. I hope this helps, it did for me.

i figured out what the problem was.si i was leaking oil from my dizzy o-ring and i put a new one in.when i did this i guess the tooth that grabs onto the cam moved 180 degress.i was on #4 spark plug when i should've been at #1.turned the dizzy back,put everything together and it started right up.thanks for the help anyways everyone!
