    I will tell Nick to check that. The issue is the car drove back from Alabama, drove all over for thousands of miles, drove to Tenn, tail of the dragon, drove home.

    Bam. Won't start.

              Car is stuck in Grayson atm...

              It's at the climax where its about to start and it will not. It cranks fine, like it should fire immediately. Just doesn't get the that top point

              We bought new rotor, distributor, spark plugs and changed out:
              -coil with a known working one (it does fire)
              -spark plugs (do not fire)
              -rotor
              -distributor cap
              -ecu
              -crank reference sensor

              Now I may not be the best when it comes to car mechanics, but I read the main relay, fuel relay, etc were either white or orange. These definitely don't look like they are near fuse box. Could it be possible they were shoved under dash? I feel retarded, I just need some guidance lol.

                I stole this picture from MR 325's for sale post because it is the same car, hope he doesn't mind. The relays are next to the afm/intake under a black plastic cover.
