Hey.

Remove one plug-wire, if you have a spare plug, use this one, if not, remove
one from engine.... hook this one back to the wire, put that plug on the
engine block, anywhere, make sure it DOES touch metal, remove your hand,
have someone crank the engine (engine may start), check for sparks!

No sparks = wire problem, cap, rotor, ground, ECU...

If sparks, check if you have fuel pressure, regulator could be bad!

Just today, same problem with a customer.... ignition switch was bad!

Good luck
Ben
