no start

its a b18, just changed the rotor and cap and all that shit, still cranks and just doesnt seem like its getting spark. we've tried lots of things and were out of ideas. anyone have similar problems? it just cranks and cranks and backfires like crazy im thinking something to do with fuel or timing. anyone wanna help?

[91EscortGT]

any possibility of it jumpin timing?

[jmacsss]

very well could be, but that happened last time and we replaced all the tensioners and pulleys and the belt itself and retimed it and it was good, it hasent ran since then because we've been busy working on the car itself, it ran perfectly about a week ago, tonight we get everything together and it just cranks and cranks.

hows the fuel pressure? have u checked for spark? and what color is the spark... is it a blue (strong) or orange (weak)

[jmacsss]

the fuel rail said 52psi i believe when i checked earlier today. the cap on the rotor or whatever is clear and my friend said there was barely spark, i pulled all the plugs and they were completly black and covered in fuel, we cleaned them up, put them back in(there a month old btw) and he said he could see alot more spark through the cap but im not sure of the color. i think its just something to do with fuel because of the plugs and how fouled they were

[kbrown!]

possibly firing order!

[jmacsss]

as in maybe when someone put the plugs back on the cap they messed up the order? that could possibly be it i have no idea who did it

yes.s sounds liek someone when putting the wires on the cap put em in the wrong oder. Because by doing a cap n rotor it shouldn't mess shit up.

[jmacsss]

thanks alot man, really appreciate the help, you so escort guy. im gonna check the order out tomorrow and hopefully that helps. the car was misfiring also forgot to mention that, so its either timing, something to do with fuel or idk im out of ideas ive tried everything

[jmacsss]
