QUESTION: Ted, I replaced the spark plugs, cap and rotor tried to start it and its back to no start. I mean it dont even try to start. Pulled the number one plug out, checked the spark it has nice blue spark, plug was wet. certainly has me baffled whats next?

Answer
I don't remember what it was I recommended doing earlier so just a quick review and let me know:
injector pulse test
fuel pressure check
engine timing/distributor in correctly
compression test
check airflow meter connection
does it attempt to run by spraying a starting fluid in or with a seperate fuel supply?
