A Stupid question...

Should the rear roter trailing coil be firing if the car isnt actually started up. I tested all my wires and the rear trailing coil isnt sparking while the car is cranking. I cant start the car so I was wondering if maybe this is just part of the way it starts, and that it would start firing as soon as the car was running.

Im just trying to rule out any possibilities.


Also has anyone had a problem with their premix setteling out of their gastank? Cause my car has sat for two months and im worried part of the reason it wont start is cause its just sucking up the settled out premix oil from the tank.

If you are worried about the pre-mix settling out, Just run your fuel pump for a little bit by putting a jumper from the F/P (?) to the nearest GND connection in the diagnosis box. I would think that that would mix the gas well enough.

premix won't seperate after 2 mo - not sure if it ever does.

spark plugs will cause a problem of not firing too. An easy way to check to see if all your plugs are firing just hook a timing light up to them. It will flash if they are working.

Trailing are used to completey ignite all fuel (emission/ecconomy). They can run without.
