[spaul2005]

[gtstang1967]

wrong firing order? did you accidentally disconnect any wires

 

[PAracer]

Are you missing fuel, air, or spark?

 

[luigisho]

I'm guessing you had no start before you changed the plugs? Check the codes?

 

[spaul2005]

it didnt start before i changed the plugs but i pulled the codes and got a

96 & 59 any ideas?

Those are fuel pump codes. Do you hear the pump priming when you turn the key to the on position?

Your trunk cutoff switch might be tripped.

 

[spaul2005]

i checked the trunk and the red botton is down so i guess my next step is replace the fuel pump?

what a mess

Again, if you turn the key to the 'on' position without engaging the starter can you hear the fuel pump prime the system?

 

[spaul2005]

how long does it prime for i cant remember what it sounds like its been like a year since i last started it

p.s happy easter

 

[luigisho]

It primes for just a second or two. It is pronounced though. You should hear a low electric motor noise from the back.

ok so im going to check but if its not the fuel pump then what eles could it be?

 

[AREA 91]

Get a fuel pressure guage on the schrader valve on the fuel rail.

I had a simmilar issue on my Tbird. Car wouldnt start, fuel pump was behaving eraddicly and would not prime. It ended up being the battery which I replaced and it started right up. Also check your battery terminals and cables to make shure they are getting good contact.

 

[spaul2005]

battery is good brand new and the connections on the terminals are brand new 2 so i guess im going to check the fuel pressure next

 

[bigkev]

Like area91 says best way to find out if u have fuel is to either put a fuel guage on it or just poke it with a pocket screw driver. if gas squirts out with pressure you know you have fuel

Is it possible to change the plugs without removing anything else?

 

[luigisho]

Yes. Obviously the front is simple. The rear bank takes a little maneuvering. Get yourself an extention and one of those swivel socket things can make it easier too.
