Stumped - No Start

^ thanks George! Hahaha yeah I figured the minimal amount of resistance added by my splices would not mean anything..

The difference between a splice and a butt connector is about 0.001 ohms or something. It's so low that it's almost un-readable on my $400 multimeter. But there is a difference. (I've measured it) - but don't worry about that - that's not the issue.

Solder is always better (I hope steroinstaller doesn't read this - he loves his buff connectors for fast and easy installs)

I soldered the most important connections... but when I had to lengthen them on the car I just did 2 splices without solder. I heatshrinked everything of course.

I need to read the volts on each connector. They all have continuity, but I am not sure if it is 12V... should be.

Im doing all this tomorrow... today was my Moms 50th!

Well all injectors are receiving within .01 or .02 the same voltage. My wiring works fine!

Spark was had on the first 3 cylinders, then the battery got so low it wouldn't spark the other 3

Battery charger on car now. I have a feeling a FULL battery charge would solve all my problems.. when caranking the car the battery falls below the resting voltage anyhow... which in my case was a SUPER LOW 11.8 volts.

God I feel smart at the moment, I seriously think that this will solve the problems.

Maybe the engine was dieing before cause the battery couldn't charge? SHit I dont know

Another reason to get a VDO volt gauge :)

Story made short... battery was dead and car was out of gas. Fixed those things and it runs great! Actually more like battery was just super low and jump starting the battery doesn't charge it enough. I thought I had gas because the other night when it ran there was plenty of fuel coming from the fuel line.

Though my fuel pump relay is broke (jumper cable works fine) and it idles high

John dont judge me! I thought I had alot more fuel!
