Is it flooded?
Fuel Pressure to low, normal is 32-34 with the engine not running
You should have spark on both Trailing and the leading when you are trying to start it


If you have spark on the leadings and fuel then it should start or at least pop.

What could be the problem that the car dose not have enough fuel pressure?

what would cause my tailing plugs to not spark? would both of the trailing coil ignition coils be bad?

what do you guys think the problem could be?

sorry for all the questions but i am new at this

im pretty sure the motor is not flooded.

as far as spark pugs go it could be the spark plugs themselves or the plug wires or the trailing coil packs (most unlikely)
