Finaly installed my header and now my car does not start. it has power but it keeps turning over and over. Never starting?

 

Does it have spark?

 

Every time a car does not start, you always have to go through the same troubleshooting steps... This has been discussed alot here. But here goes.

To start a car you need - air, fuel, spark, timing, compression

First thing, have you flooded the engine? Slam the gas pedal to the floor and crank to see what happens.

Second, did it start ok before you worked on it? If so, probably a loose connection somewhere.

If this checks out:

1. check to make sure nothing is disconnected under the hood.
2. Check if you have gas in the tank
3. check voltage to battery 12.6 volts or more
4. check for spark at sparkplugs
5. check for fuel by either smelling the throttle body or removing fuel line to filter and crank engine.

Now, you don't lose compression overnight so, you don't need to check this until last recourse.

Someone should post a good no-start troubleshooting guide on this site somewhere.

how do you check for spark

 

i believe u can pull the plug, connect the plug to the wire and check for a spark between the electrode when u try starting.....u can at least do that on my snowblower.....
