Unhappy no start after single instal?? need help

ok heres the deal

i completed the instal about 2 days ago

upon start up i make sure that everything was taken cared of like fuel,spark, and oil/coolant in the engine

well i crank and crank and nothing, but i charged up my optima bttery and started to sputter and fire finally

after i let it idle (horrible loping) i shut the car off, i notcied that there was a oil underneath my car i ws like WTF???

i traced it to the oil feedline on the block, it was semi loose

so i left it like that until today, i retightend that bolt and while i was in there installed a new set of plug wires (manecore)

those are a bitch to put on the plugs, so i go put everything together and crank the car and nothing.....

i here some sort off clickin' (sounds like when u are teting plugs out for spark)thinkin that the wires were not properly seated on the plugs

so i pushed and pushed and make sure all of them were on there snug, and still nothing.....

am i doin something wrong here???

please help

mike

Sounds like you got something wrong in putting the magnecor wires back on, check against pictures on the forum, or look at a shop manual. It should at least try to catch, also something to do is to check for fuel smell from the exhaust, if it's getting fuel, it's most likely the Ignition not the turbo...

Try to really get the wires on... some times, if you don't push hard enough, they don't pop onto the plugs

Are you in Lancaster? They say 2 heads are better than one. I'd be glad to come take a look.
