I replaced my spark plugs earlyer and my car wont start now. Any things i should check for?

 

You should check the connection and provide more info. Saying that you replaced spark plugs alone can't get the org to help you.

 

you probably left the coil packs un plugged

 

make sure you put all the coil packs in the right cylinders........which most of the time the wires are held in with the factory zip ties, and you have no choise to, but i have seen one that the wires were jumbled

 

Nope the coils are all plugged in, i put everything back the way it was before and i checked the gap on the plugs. I know the coil pack is in the right spots b/c i changed them one at a time. Any other things i should check. Do you think it could be the starter ill go bang on that acouple of times right now and see.

 

ehh maybe its just my starter. The engine seems to crank put it jsut wont turn over.

 

You mean it'll turn over but won't crank???
What you said makes no sense....

 

Yea i guess it sounds like it would start but just never does. I think i can kind of hear the starter spin but i dono. Is there any fuses i should check.

 

what else did you play with?

Make sure EVERY connector you touched is properly snapped in - they must click when you properly mate them.

Other than that you must have the wrong plugs. I note that the coil pack HV contacts are just a spring loaded contact that presses on the top of the plug electrode and is held by the coilpack screws. If there isn't a spring loaded action as you tighten the screws they may not be contacting.

It's probably a connector not plugged in right.

 

Ngk bkr6e-11 coppers

 

mine aren't copper, I think Maxima needs platinum tip for best results. I just changed mine last week and they were platinum and they work awsome.

 

i agree i just got some platinum plugs and installed them w/in a week or 2 ago. their not expensive and my gas mileage is up too.

 

Well im supercharged so i am running a one step colder copper plug. I just went back outside and uninstalled and then reinstalled them but still no luck i can smell gas on each spark plug.


Yea acctually copper plugs give a better spark.

 

wrong the copper NGK works just as good as the platinum, they just dont last anywhere near as long.

 

Have you pulled any codes? And you said that you hit the starter but nothing happened right? I hope its not fuel related. Before you switched out the old spark plugs everything worked properly. It just doesn't sound like your spark plugs are affecting the starting of the car. It has to be related to something else.

 

camshaft position sensor i think. I forget if that was it or not but im almost positive that was it. I will check the codes when i get home again. But i know i didnt have that code before the install.

 

Just replaced the plugs again but this time with plats. still no start. Pulling a camshaft position sensor code. will this make it not start?

 

Yes, a bad camshaft position sensor will prevent starting. It may have been coincidence that it went bad or maybe changing the spark plugs jostled it.

 

ok well for any of you guys that care the cam position sensor is fixed and the car started. Thanks for the help tho.

 

Congrats on getting it running again
