Replaced Wires/ No Start

[Xlt600Dude]

Ive got a 93 3.2 and about a a few months ago I changed the water pump and the timing belt and all that good stuff. Car ran great. About a month ago I replaced the valve cover gaskets. Car are good. All of a sudden the car started to misfire, Not very often, just once and awhile, Then it got worse and worse. At the time I only had enough money for the plugs. Changed them along with the oil seals which were bad, but car ran great like that. Hmm, anyways It ran good then started doing it again, now it was all the time. So i bought a coil. Still did it. Then i bought plug wires, I changed them out. Now the car wont start, Just cranks. At first I wasnt sure if I had the firing order right, And i didnt, but then i went back and fixed the firing order. Its correct now. Is it possible that I may have damaged something with the wrong firing order??

What firing order did you use? We need to be sure it is correct. It is unlikely that you damaged anything when you had them wrong the first time.

A diagram of the correct wire routing can be found HERE.

Great link. Wish it was pinned or linked somewhere for future ref.

You're sure you're getting fuel, air and spark right? Maybe the crank sensor is bad. Any codes?

How hard is it to change a crank sensor??

 

[Xlt600Dude]

Is it a bad sign that when the motor cranks over the rpm gauge doesnt move at all???

That usually happens with a failed crank sensor. If you have to replace it you will have to access the front of the motor. The sensor is under the bottom cover near the timing belt.
