So, one morning, about two weeks ago, my car just wouldn't start. First thing I did was loosen the fuel line from the end of the fuel rail, and turned over the engine. Fuel spewed everywhere. So fuel isn't the problem.
Then I purchased the GM HEI module. Did an install as per this drawing;
The car did not start. So I figured the next step was to get an external coil.
I have installed the picture as per this drawing;
Still did not start.
Now, before we go on to the possibility of it being vacuum, I have yet to test for spark since completely installing the HEI mod with External Coil.
So now on to the questions I had while doing the installation.
1. During the install, and looking at the pics in the multiple how-to's, I found some pictures that conflicted each other.
Compare these two;
In the one pic, it says to ground the HEI from post W to the wire that is cut from the longer plug. Where the other drawing doesn't
How much of a difference does that make? Which drawing is correct?
Secondly, looking at either diagram, the wires on my three wire plug, were in a different order than the drawing. Does that matter, just as long as I hook the wires up to the colour I am told?
And finally, the reason I didn't test fo spark, was it is too freakin cold out. I will try that tomorrow when I get home from work. Should I not see a spark, then I know that I must have hooked something up wrong.
Any and all help is much appreciated. I just want to get the car running.
