Ok, before I changed my head gasket my car was ran fine, leaked oil, but it ran, now it won't start.

I have spark from the distributor, brand new spark plugs, I tested my wires they are fine, my starter works, my grounds are good, I made sure I have gas in the tank this time.

I took a plug out to see if it was wet with fuel. It was, but barely. I'm not sure how much fuel is supposed to get dumped into the motor on start up.

I'm open to any suggestions at this time, I'm really freakin' agrivated.

 

even tho you have spark from the dizzy it could still be at fault... in fact the dizzy is the only thing i can think of. If its not firing at the right time it wont start. Its usually the tdc sensor inside the dizzy or some crap like that, and it wont throw a cel either... i did this on a 96 eg, same simptoms and it was the dizzy... change it out with a known good one and im positive itll start...

 

I got this distributor in mid February, I haven't even driven the car, just backed it up.

 

Couple things i would try, pull the plugs one at a time and ground them on the block and have some one crank the car, make sure u have spark coming from the plugs. Did you gap all the new plugs??? Also when u turn the key to on, not start, do u hear the fuel pump buzz. Make sure ur pumps not burned out.

 

sry just read your other post, so you have spark, and fuel, next id check all your fuses, make sure none blew or got pulled out.

 

i have the coupling on the shaft backwards.

 

what thi3v3v stated is true...make certain that your pumps are not burned out

 

you should try your main relay it's located right behind your hood release

 

i have a 255lph pump in a gutted hatchback, trust me I can hear my fuel pump.

The car started today anyway, a few posts above I said I had the coupling on the distributor shaft backwards so it wasn't triggering at the right time.

I gotta thank 95lsv for bringing up the tdc and crank angle sensors and making me think, because he was right. MY dizzy wasn't bad, just put together backwards so those sensors were confused.
