SE trouble Update

Just in case you decided your not goi ng to read the other one.. I've got new wire and plugs in .. and now it won't start.. before it at least started. ALthough however i found out i had my wires on the wrong rotor and am probably gonna pull my plugs and see if they are fouled out from last time as well as clean up contacts on my crank angle sensor, coils, and ground and shove some pipe cleaners or just a really long wire down my fuel line to my tank to see if it's clogged ( after i pull my fuel pump out.) then pull my holder plate out of the gas tank from where my OLD pump USED to be and see if anythings clogging that.( and probably get alot of injector cleaner.. then if it decides to run and stay running i'm going to bend the bracket for my headlight motor on the drivers side back the way it was so i can fix my poor wittle headlight and keep the motor from burning up..

then i need to vacum out my sun roof of all debris and interior.. ( never tow a vhecle on grassy feild with sunroof UP!.. the thing towing you will spit dirt ALL over ), yes against what some have said i decided to tow it to see if it was flooded and now i got clumps of dirt in my hair.. oh well.. at least i got to have SOME fun in it from it fishtailing when had to turn..( crank wheel in direction of turn pop in clutch and right back to bein straight.. ) now i see why people like to use these cars to drift.. definitly good at going sideways in first gear..

could be flooded.. i thought i wasnt getting any spark, but i was getting spark.. it was that it was flooded and the cavalier had to boost it.. i had to crank it with the EGI off for a while then flip it back and she started..

i know that everyone knows that, but always remember to keep that in mind.. its easy to overlook it while your worried about actually getting the spark and stuff..

Check for flooding, and if it still doesn't work, I found this link that's from the factory service manual.

Well, about the flooding, I took out the spark plugs ( the leads,) then i turned it over a few times. then i towed it just to make sure i got all the fuel out of it.. then flipped on the pump for the second time around.. right now it's definitly acting like it's getting no spark or not enough spark however i also have a vacume leak to my pressure sensor ( considering that it isn't even hooked up, which is why i'm gonna try and ghetto style fix it ( hey.. it works.. and it's cheaper then buying a new one) also the person who owned it before said they couldn't get any spark ( well it seemed to have fixed that problem.. but then again the old plugs where well encased in carbon!) so now that i have new plugs and wires and it's not starting i beleive there's connection issues with some contacts as well.. ( everything else on the bloody thing looks pretty well oxidized.. why not clean some of them up, couldn't hurt.) also your link isn't working for me right now. also i'm bringing a friend down who seems to have the magical touch with that car..
