Bought the car for 350 they guy said it needed a new coil. So i bought it and took it home..

Checked the coil it got spark but a lot of spark as in didn't seem as if it had a firing order.

Got new Plugs, Wires, fuel filter.. Still it will turn over but not fire... 1 time it did back fire through the intake... Weird so we thought the timing was off...

We pulled all the timing covers off and it is DEAD ON!... So i went and bought a new Crank Angle Sensor and now it fires of on order... BUT i pulled the new plug out and it was soaked in gas.. Any Ideas or am i just stupid and need to take it to a shop.. I need this as a daily

Probably just flooded the engine. Let it dry out and try it again. And just to make sure it's firing properly, pull a spark plug and have someone turn the engine over so you can verify you're getting spark at the plug the way you're supposed to be.

So it was the timing... the previous owner didn't time it right when replacing the timing belt... started right but a little hesitation but thats just the ECU relearning all the steps!!!


IT RUNS!!!
