I have a td44 distributor on my ls/v.. the coil or ignitor was going bad so i decided to replace it.. i put the new one in, put the correct firing order and the car wont turn.. and i heard this hollow pop noise... i put the old one back in and now the car still wont turn.. it makes a loud pop noise too,,, what the hell is going on? there is no wrong way to put a distr. in!

 

you sure the firing order is rt, cause it sounds like u got some of the wires backwards

 

upper left going clockwise... 3421

 

in my book it says the firing order is 1-3-4-2 and it shows the bottom left being #1 and then going clockwise,are u sure you got the wires goin to the plugs rt #1=closest to cam gears

 

yeah.. thats exactly how i have it.. i dont know.. that loud pop scares me.. i get the feeling my bottom end died.. that pop sounded bad!

 

check and see if u got spark

 

If it's not turning over at all then it's not your distributor.

 

im scared.. i heard that loud *** pop 3 times... i wonder if i killed it? i hope not!

If the car was runnin fine before u messed with the distributor it should still b ok

 

Assuming it's not turning over at all (as opposed to turning over but not starting), I'd check two things:

1) Fuses. If you accidentally created a ground loop you may have popped a fuse when you tried to turn it over. Check the big ones under the hood. Replace anything that's blown, then find the ground loop.

2) Starter. Coincidence may have reared it's head. If it's a stick you can try push starting it, but before wasting a lot of time huffing and puffing trying to start it with miswired plugs, I'd double-check your connections with an authoritative source - Helms or the like. If it's a slushbox, well... you could pull the starter and test it. No push start for you.

If you know the LS/V has the same firing order as a B16Ax, I can tell you what's in my Helms - it's outside in my car, it's cold, snowy, and windy, so I'm not going to pull it unless someone asks.
