ok it was working fine. then 2 months ago i put on intakes, fmic, y-pipe, indigo pullies, relocated the battery, had the uim and tb off for polishing. i go to finlly start her up and it just cranks.



so i do that for a little while. i hooked my battery charger up where the stock location for the battery was thinking its not getting a good ground. same thing just cranks.



so i plug my stock ecu in and same thing just cranks.



i know it takes air, fuel and spark to start a motor. i have not be able to check to see it the plugs are fireing. how do i tell if my injectors or whatever are working properly. and the tb is not clogged. but i put the vac lines back the right way, i think. would that stop it from fireing up if i had a vac line running to a diffrent place then before, but all lines r plug in though.



has any one ran into some thing like this.



any help is kool

good luck.. the ATF 99% of the time works.. we started some guys FC that had sat for 2 years with ATF and a new set of plugs.

well did the AFT thing and no luck checked my plugs and they are getting no spark at all. i even held the wires, you know when u get shocked nothing. i removed one of the plug wires to get to the bottom bolt of the oil filer neck but put it back when i was done.



is there a fuse that controls the plugs or did something go wrong



but its kind of hard to start it with out a spark





anyone plz
