Double check your spark plug wiring. I made the same mistake.

[shokid20]

ill double check but they should be right, is the 3.0 and 3.2 coil pack the same?

Yes, they're the same.

It's not hard to cross up the plug wiring, trust me.

 

[RAYJAY]

got the cams in right ?

Jeff

also your really close to me I'm in Pa also by elk Mnt. ski area

 

[shokid20]

im pretty sure i have the cams in right the front of the cams towards the passenger side sproket can only go on one way and the driver side sprokets are lined up with the top of the heads like the book shows.

CHILTON IS KNOWN TO BE WRONG ON THIS VERY DIAGRAM.

 

[shokid20]

well someting is still not right, still have the poping out the exhaust and i tried switching the 1 and 3 wires and 4 and 5 wires and still nothing

 

[RaJ93]

This may be a silly one but I have had this happen to others... Is your DIS grounded? my friend didnt have a decent ground and he had the same problems... We ended up running a wire from the firewall to a bolt on the DIS module...
Good luck

 

[shokid20]

does sound silly and where is the dis at

 

[red89sho15]

if your standing in front of your car its the box on the left sid of your intake u cant miss it

 

[gbizzle27]

The DIS is the little box with two plug in's on the crossover tube on your intake. Its to the far passenger side of the engine. Make sure the strap that goes from the firewall to the back of the intake on the passenger side is hooked up good, and the two bolts that hold the crossover tube to the intake are in and tight.

 

[shokid20]

ok i didnt but that green ground stap on bc i didnt think i needed it to run so this is what is making my car pop out through the exhaust like it was out of time?

 

[sdpatt]

hey pheonix that diagram up there the 1 and 3 are mixed up and the 4 and 5 are mixed up. your diagram is different then the chilton manual

Chilton's had the 4 and 5 plug connections switched, but not the 1 and 3. Check those plug wires again.

 

[RAYJAY]

here is the one always use for the firing order it is in the how to section

 

[shokid20]

ok so i got the spark plug wires on right, it stopped poping through the exhaust but wont start. it just cranks. i have spark and fuel. now what?
