Car won't start now.
I unplugged the injector clips and moved the wiring around and unhooked a couple hoses on the manifold, but i plugged everything back in but my car won't start now. I have a 2000 Civic SI. It cranks and I can smell fuel?
What you mean turn the key? and how do I check for spark? I let the battery sit for 5 minutes so that should of reset the ecu? I still couldn't get it to start. The check engine light has been on for a 02 sensor even when it started, but if it did stay on could that be something else?
Method for checking spark:
Uncouple a plug from its plug wire and then insert a spare plug into the end.
Ground the threads of the spare plug onto a convenient metallic engine part like the valve cover.
Have a buddy crank the engine. You should see a bright spark at the tip of the plug. Repeat for all four plugs.
If you have no spark at any plugs, check whether the distributor is getting battery power when the ignition key is turned to ON. If so, you likely have a bad coil or igniter in the distributor.
If the distributor is not receiving power, check for blown fuses.
