As the title states, I recently rebuilt my head for my 7m. I had it running but the timing kept jumping off at 1st and the car kept running really rough. I try to drive it home, which is less than a mile from the shop, but the car died at a red light about 1/2 a mile down the road and will not start back up. I immediately suspect that my cps or timing was off again. However, when i checked, it was all ok. I check my injectors as well and found out that the 1st and 2nd injector clips were switched around.(a friend from auto mech class was helping out and got them mixed up) I get the clips straightened out and try to start the car. It backfires once and starts up, however, after i changed spark plugs, which were fouled. It did not start anymore. It cranks, but does not start at all.
Me and my other friend suspect there's no spark and brought the timing light out, just to see if there are any sparks at all. Well, let's just say the light did not even slightly flicker haha. I then went ahead and changed the plug wires as well. But still, no luck with starting, and still no spark. I suspect either the coils, igniter, or a fuse is messed up. Anyone here have any advice or suggestions on which i should check out. You're help is deeply appreciated.
