yeah it doesnt even fire up....its just turning over and there is no fire what so ever. I am gonna start going through all the relays to make sure no corrosion. regarding finding out if the injectors are getting fuel how should I go about finding out? pull a plug out directly after firing to...

oh and the timing belt was just changed not even miles ago 5000 and I cleaned out IAC, TB and MAF when I changed out my plugs and wires.

My '97 3.4 w/172K on it shut down on my wife a couple days ago going down the road. After towing back to our house I decided it was the fuel pump because its been having a really long start (4 or 5 cranks). But just to be safe I checked if I was getting spark and I was (Just replaced plugs and...

by "cheap but quality" I was meaning not top of the line...but not total crap...anyways found out my local autozone loans them out for a $40 refundable deposit! thanks

anyone know of a cheap but quality compression tester kit? need one

yeha they are all fine

I needed plug wires asap so I just bought duralast ones and put them on and bought the ngk's off amazon (coming tomorrow). My question is can non OEM wires cause misfiring when they are brand new?? Can they be that crappy?

It was the TB coolant hoses! When I took the IAC off that same morning to clean it trying to solve rough idle problem one of the coolant hoses clamp did get put back on.....

doesnt seem to have any other symptoms so I think its prob fine.

OK well I'll throw the duel electrode plugs in and see if it helps...if not I'll look at o2 sensor...could this have anything to do woith the timing belt the previous owner did himself about 2000 miles ago??

so I replaced the PLugs this morning and its running 95% better I believe i must have messed the other one up when I gaped them (broken electrode?)...the only thing that is happening now is a slight hesitation every 5-10 seconds when stopped at a light or in park...could this be a TPS? Havent...

I heard that I shouldnt try to gap the platinum plugs which I gaped when I changed the spark plugs which could have ruined them?? I bought six new ones but the are all gaped at .40 but they are spose to be at .44 for the runner! Is it ok to use them at .40? and could this ultimately be the...
