CA Car wont start.

Replaced a blown 120A main fuse. tried the removing the egi fuse if the motor was flooded & cranking. even push starting. Nothing. It wants to start and nothing happens. I noticed a small drip on the passenger side....i think its gasoline mixed with oil. i could be wrong.


Oh crap. I havent tried push starting since replacing the fuse. Hmm I'll try that later tonight.


My only guess is the spark plugs. Couldnt even go to work today

as always, first check for any loose hoses first... does it turn over? do you just hear clicking? what do you mean by "it wants to start" ?

I daily drive my FD too... scary thought not being able to start it. keep searching, hope you find out what's wrong.

You most likely flooded it. Any idea why the fuse blew?

The dripping on the passenger side is most likely from the excess fuel being pushed out of your exhaust ports. It will have tendency to leak out either at the exhast manifold or at the downpipe connection. Try this procedure with your new spark plugs:
