so i put new wires and a new coil in. started right up. new problem is it isnt running right at all. it sounds like its misfiring and is making a horable clanking noise when i press on the gas almost like somthing is broken. the is also char marks in the snow at the exhaust with what looks like metal flakes.

 

So you checked for spark and there was none then?

you did new plug wires? are you sure you hooked them up properly?

 

i should have. i did them one by one so i wouldnt mess them up

 

if one was messed up would that cause that weird metal clanking noise? it does it when i press the gas. if i go to hard it dies

 

When you checked for spark before making the changes, was there any?

How long did you try cranking the engine when it wouldn't start? How many times did you try it?

 

i tryed quite a few times yesterday

 

i also didnt check for spark. i didnt bother since i could tell there want one so i just got a coil since it was cheap

 

i was stuck on a busy road so i kept trying to get is started many times before i was towed

 

Recheck plug wire routing. There is a TSB for it in the FAQ/DIY section here. I suspect you have a couple switched.

 

it sounds like somthing broke tho. i hear metal rattling around.
