Is it cranking fast or doew it sound slow and labored? You sure that the battery isn't on its way out?

red94gt

it cranks fast just put a new battery n bout 3 months ago

You only need three things to get it running. air, fuel, and spark. You can probabyl rule out air right away. So now check for spark. Are all your wires in place? Any of them get damaged or melt? Pull out some plugs and ground them to the engine or something while someone else cranks the engine. Do you see a spark? If you're getting air and a spark, next it's time check the fuel supply. How's the pressure? Do you hear the pump engaging for 1 second when you first turn the key forward (even before you try to start it, just with the key in the on position?)

Since it ran yesterday, I'm going to assume you din't do anyting to the dizzy, cap, rotor, etc.

Foul the plugs maybe? Wouldnt hurt to check.

red94gt

no i didnt do anything to the dizzy,cap, rotor,etc. yes u can here it prime when u first turn the key on

Try twisting the boot as you pull. When you put the boot back on, coat the inside with some vaseline. I do that every plug/wire change and the boots havent stuck yet.
