I have to admit that’s an old video from about a year ago. I recently drove it around the block although it would not stay on unless I throttled the gas. I figure since I used my boat battery which is a smaller one, there wasn’t enough charge.Since then I found a loose hose at the EGR valve and plastic bags within the air filter. It’s been a week since I last drove it and I bought a battery today, added one and a half gallons of premium gasoline, and now it won’t start. It turns over but won’t start…I added gas into intake and tried to start but no go..I noticed there was alot of build up ..black matter , maybe plenum…if anyone has a good thread for some ignition trouble shooting please shoot it over …..
Check your spark plugs first. Might be fouled. When was the last time it had a tune up?
never since I’ve had it. I pulled one spark plug , but reseated it..when I was looking for egr are cable I had my had behind the block, not sure what I could have knocked loose……all other spark plugs are seated and I even tried pouring gas into intake with no luck, and I’m guessing bad coil. I have a meter, new battery, I’m going to test relays and fuses. Spark plug cables
Crank sensor is behind the passenger side head, the connector for the cam sensor, (in the distributor) is back there as well, more toward the center, either one being disconnected/bad will give you a no start.

ill check in the morning when I get home from work…I was looking back there earlier today and I thought I noticed a 2wire terminal loose back there …I took a second look and All I could find was the one going to the distributor which had been connected..in and case I’m bringing home my mirror and a work lamp
It’s alive, resistor in …I have triple aaa..I’m gonna fill it up in gas and cruise see what it does with resistor in place…found loose terminal 3wire off of loom in rear left(driver) head.
