He did. Read the last paragraph you quoted. He said it "continues to turn over and crank but does not fire." Then he answered that he verified spark at all 4 plugs


So thar clears CAS and distributor/coil. He also said he can hear fuel pump prime.

You're right, I'm quick-judging jerk. I removed a bit of that.

I got lost in his parts swap list. I maintain, it's stupidity, my stupidity doesn't change his stupidity. Look for a problem, stop replacing the car.

When you fuck up every part that was not broken, suddenly you don't know if they're still not broken, because..... ya fuckered em. Suddenly the whole car's covered in questionable parts and work, and it's a done deal... when the only problem was a loose battery terminal.

Weeelll.... why pay a mechanic or professional to fix it when you can spend hundreds of dollars replacing parts you read about on the internet from random people and other owners' past problems instead?
