So My car is finally running!!!
A very wierd think happened. it wouldnt start, and i couldnt figure it out.
It would try to start but then instantly die. I looked down to what i thought was sparks by the manifold, but it turned out to be flames going by the heat barrier gasket, which was telling me that it was getting gas and getting spark.
i was racking my brain wondering why the flames were going up into there, but realised it was probebly timing. Which made no sence because i didnt touch the timing belt.
my last thought which was more of a "Fuck it, why not?" thought was to reverse the spark plugs completly
So if this was the coil pack before (keep in mind i have to switch 1 with 4 and 2 with 3)
|O O| |O O|
4 1 2 3
It would now be marked:
|O O| |O O|
2 3 4 1
So the two coil packs were reversed
Sure enough the bastard fired right up. I dont know how or why this went like this but hey, im not gonna argue as long as my car is running.
The only explaination i have is if when i unscrewed the coil pack from the mounting plate then i screwed it back on facing the other way. but still that doesnt make much sence because then the holes wouldnt line up for the screws (theres 3 screws per pack)
But oh well the car is runnign and im happy again, i havent had a chance to test drive it but ill see how she drives tomorrow.
Thanks again for all of the help guys.
