ok last night i developed a leak at the base of my distributor that was pissing oil all over the place... got a new gasket today, removed the dist cleaned and replaced it.. al snug.
NOW IT WON"T F#*&ING start!!!!!!!!!!
what did i do to upset the jeep gods? 6 plug wires.. 1 coil wire.. 1 plug.... and 1 negative terminal.. i didnt touch anything else!!! i checked all plugs, even the ones i didnt even go near.. new batt terminals since i had them on hand.. rechecked my firing order with the book... the only thing i did was not mark the rotor position before i pulled it out.. but the engine was not turned over in the 5 minutes it was out.. the first time i tried to start it, it cranked fine and backfired loud when i let off the key.... so i swapped the dist 180 deg. just for ha ha's.. cranked slow and hard like it was pumping water thru it... did another 180 and it cranks like it should....just no start! swapped spare dist from parts truck, same outcome. the new CPS in my pile of junk is going to get thrown in, and i will test the TPS (which i think is a lil F'd..) i didnt do anything to it. why is it angry with me???
