car wont start after manifold cleaning

[91talon_gst-x]

So my intake manifold was filled with oil, took it all apart and cleaned it out. i made sure it was dry when i installed it. hooked everything back up, made sure there was fuel in the rail, and it wont start. it turns over but wont run. what could it be?

ok. I will try to remember to look at them tomorrow. Also, can you splice it back the way it is or do you need the plugs and wires?

 

[91talon_gst-x]

both, like a inch of wire would be good.. if not i have more

Did you forget to connect the coil pack plug?

Ok. I take a look at my plugs tomorrow, I cant promise that They are both in better condition than yours but I will check it out for you.

 

[91talon_gst-x]

thats cool.. if not i have a friend here that owns a junkyard so i can get them from him if there are some in the yard

dont forget looking at the coil from left to right 4123. Number one cylinder is closest to the timing belt and number 4 cylinder is closest to the transmission. If you could get the plugs from the junk yard that would be great because I may need them for my harness because those wires on my good harness are getting flimsey too. good luck.

 

[91talon_gst-x]

ya ill check to see if the yard has them b4 you send those plugs... just in case!

 

[pj91gsx]

Ok. sounds good.

You know, plugs aren't expensive..2 bucks a plug. If you're going to change the plugs, go buy NEW NGK's! Don't get junkyard water sat plugs.

i think your talking about spark plugs meliketoball, those are new. were talkin about the ones on the thermostat housing towards the bottom of it, the two little black connectors. just thought i would clear that up for ya..

 

[pj91gsx]

not spark plugs. electrical plugs on the wiring harness. I think you missed that part. Two plugs on the thermostat are broken off.

I finally figured it out Austin!! it was the plugs fixed those and she started right up.. needs some tuning and the check engine light came on... thanks guys

Awesome. good job. I didnt know those plugs would prevent it from starting so I learned something too.
