    Cranks but won't start

    Ok, After reinstalling my intake manifold and plenum. My car cranks but won't start . It should'int be to much but I cant figure it out. and before taking it to a shop I want to see what I can do. Im not getting spark or fuel I think I might have forgot to reconnect something. I dont know what I did but I need some help. Any ideas?

    try rebooting your ecu. maybe after installing the manifold air gas got changed and its getting flooded or soemthing and wont ignite. i have a feeling that isnt it but its worth a try

        remove your negative battery terminal and open your doors. (basically let the battery drain) then reconnect it and start it up.

        (someone correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure thats how we did it on mine back in the day?)

          should be able to just take out the fuse and let it sit for a bit

              the fuse box under the hood on the passenger side. it should be marked as ecu fuse.

                Nah your suppose to take another fuse out i think its like the hazard fuse or something. You can do the battery method but your going to have to reset everything like your radio presets and shit and thats always a bitch.

                    Everything connected? Does your car want to turn over?

                        alright little hippy... out of curiosity did u remove the thermostat housing ground??? (where the radiator hose goes to).. that housing has a 10mm bolt that has a ground wire on it.. below the thermostat.. if u removed it.. (some do.. to make it easier to remove/install the thermostat housing)... if u removed it.. that would explain ur no fuel/no spark situation.. so please.. go out to ur car.. and pop ur hood.. get ur happy ass on the passenger side of the car and reach under the thermostat housing for a ground..

                            I know what it is

                            It's in the ignition switch. My car did the same thing about a month or two ago. Got the ignition switch changed and was good to go!!
