Re: Need Serious Help!

start with the basics and make sure you have fuel and spark.

Re: Need Serious Help!

While you're checking for spark and fuel pressure, check the injector clips are on the correct injector.

Check the plug wires are on the right plug.
Plug wire routing

While what you have above is the correct firing order. This
POS is worthless.

And add the information about your vehicle in your signature so if and when it's needed, someone doesn't have to ask. We know it's a 94 but several posts from now, they won't.

Re: Need Serious Help!

Depending on how far off you are on the opti, it could.

Re: Need Serious Help!

well when i put it in i just put it the way it went... i didnt think it went any other way i was spinning it also before i put it in cause i was comparing how stiff it was to my old one. think this could be the problem? i also upgraded to a msd street fire coil. i put everything back right. so should i take it off and try and put it on different? then when doing this put it back to TDC #1 before i fire it because i know from trying to crank it. it is not in TDC 1 anymore.

Re: Need Serious Help!

The opti is only suppose to go on one way, yet some people manage to put it on wrong without noticing...it happens. keyed grooves are suppose to line up.
