Well what do you mean "tune up"

If you changed the plugs,make sure you have the wires right

coils Engine
L1/L2 L1/L2
T1/T2 T1/T2

biggest easiest mistake.

easiest to fix..

follow the wires from coils,it will say either T1/T2/L1/L2

The rotor housing towards the front of the car is 1
The rotor housing to the back of the car is 2

T means trailing,also easiest way to remember is t stands for Top
L means leading,which can easly mean lower..

Match the wires from the coil
L1

would mean rotor housing 1,Leading (lower)

If you change plugs,stay with NGK!

Other brands can cause internal damage

it may be flooded? try pulling the black and yellow wire underneath your dash closest to your right leg and center console and mash the gas pedal on the ground while trying to start it. when you hear it try to turn over after the remaining gas is burnt up plug it back in and it should start.

also it may not have enough battery power to start it so try jumping it while doing the above^^^^

I would pull the plugs make sure no carbon build up to cause bad spark.

Clean with parts cleaner and a wire brush if needed,let air dry

You can also flush the engine out by turning key over from gas/fumes

You dont need to pull any wires.Holding the gas pedal to the floor when starting will do it or pull the egi fuse in the main fuse box in the engine bay.
Turn the key over for a few seconds then put the fuse back in.

Very easy..
If you know how to check the swooshes.

Pull 1 top plug at a time and listen to the swooshes..while cranking the key over.

All of this has to be done on a fully charged battery.
