well we just put lt4 hot cam kit on my car yesterday and it was running fine after the install...we turned it on and off a couple of times and it was just running great...i went out with some of my friends and about 3-4 hours later i go and try to turn on my car but it wouldnt....it cranks and everything but it just seems theres no spark...

we just pulled my car to my house..

i looked at my gauges and saw that my battery was pretty low and the clock said it was 1:00am and it was already 4:00am

so i get up this morning and go have my battery checked and charged and my alternator also...but still wont start.

i already checked the spark plugs and wires..

what should i do? im lost

 

You need to start with the basics,fuel and spark.Pull a plug and ground it to the exhaust.Have someone crank it and see if it sparks.

 

check for spark at coil too if not there then check for power to coil then check power to icm, and check fuses too

Fuel ?
Air?
Spark?

If the car won't turn over at all ......did one of you leave a door open and let the battery die???

Just get to the simple things and you'll figure it out. It's not like it could be something monumental especially if you had it running.

Let us know sir and good luck,
Ivan

 

update:

i checked for spark but there wasnt any...so i messed around with the ICM and the car started...i let it idle for a while and then i took it out for a drive. I noticed that the battery gauge kept going down slowly..then it just went all the way down and all the lights turned off but the car was still on(which means alternator is still good right?)

drove it home and turned it off. Now it sounds like its the starter...i hate this




edit: by the way the car is still on stock tune...idk if that has anything to do with it?

 

What are the conditions of your battery cables??? Sounds stupid but I've solved what I thought to be "complex issues" by reestablishing correct grounds and finding corroded cables.

Don't give up,
