Today after fixing the electrical problem on my car (thread)..., I go and turn the key to turn on the car and all it does is crank, it doesnt turn on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) , Do you guys have any idea of what can be causing this? or What I should look out for?
TIA

I tend to forget the trigger points plug and vacuum line on the distributor. Check CHT wire as well.

What are you doing up at this time of day, people in you hood dont go to sleep until 4. Hey, check the plug at the triger points if the boot looks like its on the plug can still be unpluged and the car wont start. Bought a teener really cheap because of that.
