why wont my car start??? details inside. !!!!!!
ok so i tried firing up that new motor i posted on here, and at first i put the dizzy in the wrong order so then i tried cranking it over, it fired 2 times and died, and wont start again.
-NO CODES
-everything is hooked up proper
-all ground are connected
car just constantly cranks.
the rpm and speedo for some reason go up and down to the rotation of the motor now....??
ive tried this on a stock ecu, stock injectors etc, AND on a chipped p28 that was used on a 85x87mm 14:1cr motor..

You probably blew the coil....The same thing happend to me when i was changing my valve cover gasket. I fired it up with one of the plugs not connnected. I good way to test your coil is to get a metal hanger and ground it to your battery then have the otherside of the hanger near the coil spring. Have somebody start the car if u see no spark then your coil is shot.

no its still good. it only fired after i changed it to the right order. it will crank and you can tell it wants to start now if you give it gas a bit but it just wont completely start

Checks your grounds again and make sure it is tight. Try to tighten the ground bolts again. The same situation happen to a friend. Turns out one of his ground wires was loose.
