I was trying to find a location to ground the negative black wire from the neg. side of the coil that runs to the engine. I grounded to the a/c ground and it shorted and killed the car. I now have no spark and it will not crank, I have fuel but no spark. I am thinking I blew up the igniter but I am not sure, I have no rpm tach needle movement when I try to crank the car but know I do have fuel cause I verified it from the tank side. the + and negative terminal on the coil pack is getting power a

need a good air mass sensor to pass smog 1988 starion.

First off, I would like to say that my problem is slightly different than the other members. I have fuel to the top hat, new clips, new fuel pump, new fuel line, new plugs, new wires, I have spark, but the trilogy injectors don't squirt. The last time it ran, it would chug badly, as if it would stall if I didn't give it some gas myself. The tachometer does bounce. I checked the spark plugs numerous times after turning it over and they are dry. What is causing the injectors not to squirt?

After the rebuild I noticed that my oil drain plug continues to leak because the PO smashed it all up and then tried hammering it back from the inside. I've tried using plastic, copper and aluminum crush washers on the drain plug but they all leak, especially the plastic one. I would buy a "new" pan but all the ones I find are in worse condition than mine. Anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks!
