420A 420a hard start

[Sleepy2L]

hey guys, I can’t seem to get my car started unless my foot is down on the throttle. Once it does catch it will idle very choppy and eventually die out. It smells very strongly of gas. Before I changed the plugs they seemed to be very fouled out. Any suggestions?

Either running rich or misfiring (which would cause it to run rich). What condition are your plug wires and coil pack in? And do you also have a scanner to view live data? Make sure all your injectors are pulsing and not stuck open.

Once upon a time the check engine light snapped on. All this was before my alternator went to crap. Misfire across all 4 cylinders. I’m leaning towards the ignition coil and plug wires. I’ll take a voltmeter to the Ignition coil and report back. I’m gonna ask a lot of silly questions, be patient haha. The motor is certainly in time and I definitely have fuel pressure I’ll go ahead and check out my plug wires and coil

If it's misfiring in all 4 cylinders I'd say coilpack. Don't replace the plug wires if you don't have to.
