this may be a real dumb question, but my car doesnt start and when i checked the spark it was orange or yellow not the normal blue or white. Does anyone know what this means? Whether the spark isnt strong or too strong or what?

 

Dirty spark plugs?

 

weak coil or igniters or god help us a condenser, do we have condenseers,

 

spark plugs are new...oh man condensers? I dont even know where i can get one does an 83 12a have one? I never bothered to look

 

How did you check the spark? Were the plugs grounded to the chassis in some way? There might be a coating of machining oil on the plugs if they're brand new. What brand and type are they? I hope they're not autolite.

 

they are ngk's
