yeah thats what i did. but i changed it out and still nothing. though i changed it out with a used one, from the junkyard. but it still tested good. i think i might have a lil different problem then just worn parts. i ground something out when the battery post touched the hood. idk where. the ground strap from the hood to the body blew and thats all i found. though if that blew the direction of the electricity would head straight for the CPS...? uhhh...

hey all i figured it out. it was the base plate thingy under the coil. i went down to the local junkyard and finally found one, i wasnt guna buy a new one. its like $115. but found one put it in and started right up. but now theres a few problems. got a bad exsuast leak right at the end of the manifold and got a fuel leak for some reason...idk how i got it. but its the main line that runs in to the pressure reg in the front of the fuel rail. so i got to fix that...but at least i got it started and have a heading. thanks for all to help, make suggestions. it difinatly helps most the time. ill try to keep it updated on whats goin down. i might need some more help later.
