guys I've done the following and still have not start.
1. cleaned all grounds good
2. new fuel filter last one was dirty
3. checked the fuel pump have pressure.
4. replaced temp2 sensor.
5. new plugs wires and plugs since mine were a bit used.
6. looked at ECU for burnt parts found nothing. ( but maybe it would'nt show )
the prob by looking at it.
7. checked spark on all 4 and have good spark.
8. cleaned distro cap.
9. my hall is semi new
some reason it just cranks and does'nt fire up, poor thing drips gas outta
the pipes after. could my injectors be bad or maybe my ECU took a dump, but
i'm tring like hell to not swap it until i know its bad.
help elp help elp :) next place i might hit will be for beer so i can
sit and just drink in the dark
