So I started my car a week ago and it misfired and died. I started again and gave it a little gas to hold it so it would atleast run. I did that for two seconds and then thought that I would wait till another time to look into it. It seemed to be flooded to me though.
Then the other day I started it and it died, then wouldn't restart. I pulled all the plugs and they all smelled like fuel and were wet, the tops of all the pistons were wet and some even had puddles of fuel. At this point I'm thinking maybe ignition problem, or maybe the injector O-rings were leaking. Then I drained the fuel from the line and pulled the fuel pump fuse and cranked it. All the fuel blew out, and then I tested for spark. I put a plug in the end of a plug wire and cranked.. no spark. I then placed a plug wire boot against the valve cover bolts in the middle so I could see the spark jump from the boot to the bolt (maybe the plug wasn't in all the way somehow or whatever). I made sure to use a wire that was connected to the driver side coil pack, then a wire that was connected to the passanger side coil pack. Neither of them sparked. I'm assuming I should check for power and ground on both coil packs, then signal wire. I haven't had time to do this yet, but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for me.
Cliff Notes: I'm getting fuel, but no spark on either bank. What should I test next?
Thanks guys.
