Ok, I hit 60k recently, so i went up to acura today, picked up a new distributor cap and rotor and got home tonight and went to work, disconnected the plug wires, unscrewed the three bolts from the cap, unscrewed the screw holding the rotor onto the shaft and took the rotor off, i replaced that inside cap and put the new rotor on and screwed the screw back in and tightened it...put the new dist. cap on and put the plug wires on so they look like this:
(3)(4)
(1)(2)

(1) being at the one at the bottom near the firewall...this is the correct firing order, i know that.....

so, i put all that on, went to start the car.....it just cranks, wont start...any ideas on what to do guys? my old rotor is already destroyed from prying it off....i tried the old dist. cap and that wont work either......

 

bueller?

 

on my ls, i think it's
2-1
4-3
2 is closest to the firewall and is on top

 

you think or you know? and its a GSR not an LS...are they the same?

 

try your o2 sensor if the firing order is right
if not that check for feul, spark, cams, and fuses

my plug wires are in that order.

Youre 100% sure the wires are in proper order and properly seated?
Did you forget to put the neg terminal back on, brotha?

 

if there is ONE thing im positive about its that the plug wires are in the correct places....and yes the negative terminal is connected.....is there a fuse of any sort that could have blown out? (just to mark off the stupid things off the list?)

 

That is not the firing order for an LS!

check the ecu fuse and the ignition fuse
ecu fuse is in the black box under the hood by the battery
the ignition fuse is under your dash
