MusPuppis Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Thats a little weird. Make sure you have the plugs in and gapped correctly. Next I would check the cap and rotor. Make sure neither is damaged. Also make sure you have the firing order correct and didnt put the wires back on wrong. I've been guilty of that one more than once, lol. Try checking the distributer as well, make sure its not loose. Its possible its slipped or rotated out of time somehow or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 ok now i don't have a book so does any one have pics of what the firing sequence should be???? and if the dirto rotor goes clock wise or counter and what cylinder is the Number 1 the front of the engine or the back?? new to car engines worked on F-16's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akeizm Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 The firing order is 1 5 3 6 2 4 in an anti clockwise rotation. The no1 plug is usually indicated on the distributor cap by a vertical line running up the size of the distributor cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savageskaterkid Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 if you can get it running with starter fluid that means u have spark and compression, but ur missing fuel, ur injectors are probly shot-they're known for crapping out or leaking.
