New Sparks and wires, but no start

[THEfestiva]

Maybe I'm just stupid, but I don't know, I'm not used to 4cyl engines.

I replaced the sparks as I usually would (ignoring the offset).. poped on the wires, and not getting a spark. Is the spark offset major?

It's probably just something I'm over looking. Advice, anyone?

my bad.

The coil wire maybe.

[williamthompson]

take screwdriver and put it in the coil wire and then hold it while someone turns the engine over that would be the fastest way to check to make sure your coil is good and ensure you have a good spark if you get a slight shock then you'r problem is in the distributer cap. good luck..

ya could be dist cap/ rotor button, shouldnt be more than 30 bucks for those, give it a shot

both of my festivas died in the driveway because of a bad coil wire running from the center tower of the distributor cap to the coil. i always keep a spare at home after that.

also the center tower of the cap had green corrosion in it so i replaced it on my 1993 and i over looked it the other times i checked out the cap.

what do you mean by ''offset'' ?

[FestYboy]

check your coil against the chasis, NOT with a screwdriver. make sure you have power to the coil first.

ok, not offest.. the spark gap.. whatevertf you want to call it.
