i was wondering if any had an extra set of coil packs that i would b able to try out to see if thats the problem that i have that keeps my car from turning on, i checked everything else i got fuel im getting air its cranking properly i chechked timming and its on point, and im left at that my coil packs are shot, so if anyone has an extra set of coil packs that i can try out to see if thats my problem that would help alot :thumb:
 
i live down the coast a few hours but maybe you don't need to pop & swap coil packs to figure out whats bad. verify that spark is getting to the plugs as the engine is cranking. There are many ways to do this. remove a plug, connect the plug wire back up to it and lay the plug across a good grounding point. Then, while someone cranks the car, watch the gap between the electrodes on the spark plug and confirm that you're seeing an electrical arc across this gap.

im going to guess that your getting spark on cylinders 2 & 3 but not on 1 & 4?
