2.2 wont fire up

this might sound like a really dumb thing to do but did you check the spark plug wires and make sure that they were wired up right? i rebuilt a 2.2 in a 95 and i timed it up right and when i went to fire it up it wanted to crank sometimes then it wouldn't. so i moved a couple of plugs around and BOOM it fired right up. ended up being a coil pack off of a 2.2 cavalier engine and the damn guy i built it for failed to mention that to me. so check that. let me know if that helps. but if you it doesn't i will look in a wiring diagram to see what powers what for you. ohh, and i have access to something almost noone has when it comes to a manual on vehicles. i got it when i went to college for auto mechanics. let me know if anyone every needs some help.

nah i havent messed with the wires like moving around myself if you mean that they might be in the wrong order, condition of wires and plugs is good but thats a good idea.... usually if i let it sit a few hours (overnight usually) and go back out it will damn near kick up, so ill check the wires tomorrow and give that a shot


off topic: whats up with all the southeastern guys here LOL

yeah i noticed alot of people from the good ol' south on here too.

well i took it to the shop 2 days ago and got it back today...the shop said there was water in the tank and they flushed the fuel system....went there he started it up fine for me, went back 3 hour slater to meet the tow truck to get it to the house...starts u fine for me and i back it up......now we get to the house i get in it to back it off the rollback...all fine till the thing dies when it comes off and now it wont start up again! wtf is this lol works fine till it gets back home, so i guess back to the shop it might have to go...unless the water fucked something up big
