The other day i was cleaning my engine bay with WD40 (not water) and cleaned each spark plug wire and the valve cover. Since then the car does not start....the battery is new and the fuel pressure gauge is reading pressure during start up.

My next store neighbor also cheked my coil by grounding a wire to the coil spring to check for spark..it sparked fine. Can anybody give me a starting point please?

How do i check for spark to the wires?
What grounds should i look into that i might of disconnected during the cleaning of the engine bay?

 

Help

 

does it crank over when you try to start it? give as many details as possible

 

The car is cranking fine

I just took a hanger and connected the one side to the ground to the battery and the other side to the spark plug wire while my sister was cranking the engine. None of the spark plug wires showed a spark. Please Help!

 

The moisture thats stuck inside your distributor cap might be giving you a hard time starting it.... go change your distributor cap and rotor, and get your spark plugs changed, after that see if the problem still consist...

 

okay...I have repalced the distributor cap and rotor and still no start. Could I still be getting spark from the coil if the ignitor or distributor is bad?

 

Found out what it was...the damn coil.

 

I was just about to tell you that. Same thing happened to be 3 weeks ago.
