So I am just completeing my swap and I tried to start it today. It turned over but thats about it, so I sat there for a few seconds with the just the ignition on and all of the sudden I hear this slight tick tick tick tick noise coming from my distributor. I turned the car off and it stopped so I took out one of the spark plugs to check if I had spark and it did but when I stopped cranking the noise started again and an extreme spark was jumping from the plug loudly. I quickly turned off the ignition and it stopped. What could this be? The distributor is probably bad but why would it keep sparking a few seconds after cranking it?

 

as simple as it sounds... its probably just the battery.. when they dont have enough power to turn the engine over they will tick..

 

Bump. The battery is fully charged and it is turning over so that isnt the problem. And now all my fuel pump just decided to not prime anymore. Checked all ground and cant figure this out, it is starting to **** me off SOMEONE HELP ME!

 

Bump... anyone know???
