I jus changed ONE of my spark plugs and my car is not starting. When i turn the ignition am I not gettin anything. It sputtered to a start a few times but now I'm get nothing at all. No sound or anything. Its a 95 max. Please tell me I didnt mess up my car changing plugs.

 

Anybody. Help me. It sounds like the battery is dead but it shouldnt since I didnt leave anything on last night and it was starting cool this morning. I decided to test it after I changed the first plug and it sounded rough so I figured lemmie quit while i'm not ahead. Now its not givin me anything when i turn the key.

 

Check if you reconnected the COIL correctly. The black thing that is "plugged" on top of the spark plug. Look inside the connector to see if any of the metal prongs are bent.

 

Nope. Didnt help. I forgot to mention that when I change the plug I disconnected all 3 coils. Once i changed the plug I went to test to see if it would start and I forgot to connect the other two coils when I tested it. Once I realized what I did I connected and it had like about 2 or 3 rough starts and now its dead.

 

Anybody Help Me Out!!!

 

recheck the coils, pull the out and put back in again., try reseting your ECU.
personaly I don't know what it is, but these would be my first steps.

 

How do I reset my ECU? I jus pulled out the plug I put in and the tip is real black.

 

I jus tapped on the started and I least got it motor to crank. But its dead. It shouldnt be the starter because I jus got it changed yesterday. I got my started rebuilt. I think I'm gonna have to take the starter back.

 

umm... it's amazing how much stuff you changed while still only changing ONE spark plug.

 

I think next time I'll jus leave it to the professionals. I think the started was goin out though because I did have rough starts. But I really think that computers are my thing and automobiles are not.

 

First its STARTER...next stop being such a drama queen and calm down. Next...recheck all your connections...and make sure the battery is hooked up. After doing all of the above. Try to start the car. Note if the dash lights up...if it does not your battery is likely dead, so get a jump. If the dash lights up...proceed to crank the car...but make sure all your coil packs are plugged in. Hopefully you didn't unplug them all and forget where they went.

 

If your car cranks but fails to start, then it's not your starter. If you have a weak crank/ no crank then a bad starter is suspect(along with battery etc.). I might be wrong, but that's what I always thought.

 

Are you sure you plugged the connectors to the correct coils? That's why I do it one at a time.

 

I'm sure they are all connected right. I went and took the starter back and of course it was bad. So he rebuilt it and put it back in. There car of course is still not starting but it cranking. Its kind of a squealin kind of crank but its very strong. I think i'm giving up because I dont have any more patience.

And Mr. Nupe 500 I'm not being a damn drama queen when I missed out on goin to work where I make $10 an hour. And no that not a lot but I missed out a $100 today so i'm pretty ****ed. And my car still doesnt work.

 

And its not the battery because the dash light are working. I do have an issue once in a while when I start the car the gauges dont get any power and they dont move. But right now I need the car to start. Somebody give me some advice.
