    Frickin car wont start, little help please

    So I pulled the car out the other day to turn it around and work on the body on the other side. Pulled it out fine started backing it in and I had some ugly shuttering and it had a huge backfire and died. And hasn't started since.

    I pulled the plugs out and they were obviously fouled from the experience. So I replaced all of them. I tried to start the car up today and notta. I'm getting fuel since the plugs are wet, its cranking fine and the ECU light does turn off after a couple seconds of cranking.

    Any suggestions would be wonderful.

    Think i got it. Checked the resistance in the secondary coils and way lower than it should be i.e. 1000ohms not the 13-16k. The primary however looks good. Guess its time for a new coil pack.

    Nope, Plugs are wet but nothing. Checked the timing belt and everything is lined up so thats not an issue either. CAS was replaced when i changed the timing belt so that wouldn't be it. With the resistance readings im getting i think the 18yr old coils may be done for haha.

    Before you buy a coil pack test your PTU.

    I was planning on it but either way it shouldn't have any affect on the coil resistance which is obviously off.

    I'll stop acting like I know shit now. LOL.

    I've been down the road of buying the wrong parts blah blah.

    Just a lil heads up
