silly question, but was it starting ok before you changed the rotor? If so, for the hell of it, put the old one back in and try it.

Check the timing, try turning the dizzy and have someone try starting it

It could be too retarded to start

(pun intended)

1. Pull your plugs & look at them. If they are fouled, replace them.
2. Are you throwing any codes? If so, what codes ?
3. Resolve the codes if they relate to a major issue/sensor.
4. Double check your firing order (spark plug wires maybe on wrong)

-Yup it was firing just fine before
-Yes I put the old rotor on and tried it
-Yes I tried having a friend start it while I rotated the dizzy
-Yes I actually put brand new iridium laser etched plugs and brand new wires on it
-Nope, not throwing any codes
-triple check my firing order

this is pissing me off!


BTW Vega I have a obd2-obd1 conversion harness and vigin p06, eventually when this thing ever runs I'm gonna have you do a street tune on it since I heard you are doing them again

Make sure fuel is coming out of the injectors, not just getting to the rail. Broken timing belt??? You're getting air, fuel and spark....That's all that's left. Check your grounds.

yeah lol check the timing belt.... I doubt its that, but worth a try..

take the injectors out and make sure they are spraying fuel..

If the car is getting spark, getting fuel.... Is your intake clogged? is your exhaust clogged?

After that idk what to tell you bro, you said its getting spark, the wires are in correct order, its getting fuel, none of your fuses/relays are blown.. The only other thing I can think of maybe when you changed the dizzy your accidentally unplugged a wire harness from the dizzy?!?!? even though you said its getting spark.....

IDK..... GL

Tried all of that, and nothing is clogged, all the plugs are plugged in (only one plug for the dizzy since it's obd 2), everything is perfect that's why I don't get it.

Ricky I might try do the fuse box thing I dunno if I doo I'll give ya a call thanks!

O yea, the bat marks look very nice
