Re: [T3] Won't start -- advice, please!


-----------------------------------------------
Okay, checked the spark and all is well there.  Now what should we try?
-----------------------------------------------
Get an extra spark plug and then remove one of the spark plugs from its plug. 
Don't pull on the wire; reach down and squeeze the end of the connector to pull 
it out. Then connect this wire to your loose plug and lay it down on the engine 
in a location where the spark plug body is against something metal and you can 
see the spark plug gap.

One of you should then try to start the car while the other one watches the 
gap. Can you see a spark there? It's just important to verify that you actually 
have spark before you start to worry about other things.
