it has the three necessary but it won't start
My 86 gxl won't start, I checked spark, fuel, and compression and they're all good. Obviously if all three of these are there then it should run, but it doesn't. What else could be wrong?
At first I thought I messed up the ignition timing because I replaced my belts and plug wires over the weekend. I checked the wires and I had them connected correctly, but I had the wrong wires hooked up to each coil/plug. So I fixed it and it still didn't work. Then I thought maybe I accidentally moved the rotors when I was putting the belts on but I thought about it and wouldn't the ECM/crank sensor acount for that movement?
There was also a lot of oil and fuel on my plugs when I checked them so I thought maybe I flooded it. When I did what the owners manual said to do it didn't help.
Can anyone help me?
