!Help did compression test now car wont start!!
So I got a 97 GSR which i just did a compression test on... pulled all wires, plugs... tested each cylinder at WOT put all plugs in correct cylinder with proper plug wires... go to start the car and it cranks but wont start...
Any ideas??
I did not disable the fuel pump while doing this... could that have been a problem? any ideas to help get it started??
thanks in advance...

well your going to have to get a new ignition coil to get your car running but in the future the plug that is supposed to be unplugged when doing the test is right behind(when looking straight into the engine bay) the distributor.
