I had to change the throttle body on my car. Did that, and now it won’t start.
I don’t think I’m getting spark.
I don’t have a multimeter though, nor a test light, so I can’t really trace the problem
anyone with some knowledge, and maybe a multimeter, want to come help me out? I’ll buy some beers, hit them with $, whatever. I’ll be around all night tonight
hit me up, 725-5366. any time day or night

Spark plug in a wire sitting on intake manifold?

Page 18 and 22 might help if you’re unsure how to do it and after you get a multimeter.
Good luck.

alright it’s not the ignition coil. swapped it for the one on my touring and no luck
i guess tomorrow i’ll swap out the dizzy cap and rotor, and plug wires
OR
if anyone had a multimeter, and could help me out, I’ll be around tomorrow all day, the sooner the better (I’m missing the AMA mid ohio weekend, to which I bought a grandstand super pass in advance).
I will pay

Is it that you just don’t know how to use one? Because they’re not that expensive and one of those things you should always have if you’re going to work on damn near anything.

That’ll do everything you need and then some. You could spend another 100-300% and get one more user friendly. 😛
Around $10 bucks.
