Previously my 95 blazerwould start right up. Now at 100k miles, I changed the plugs,cap and rotor. It had autolites in it, but now has rapidfires. It will crank but just won't start up. I thought maybe some moisture gotin the cap so took it off and WD40'd it good then dried it out with a hairdryer. Could over tightening the plugs do it? I really need this car for a drive to a class tonight! [&:]Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.


I checked the plug to cap wire order, plug connectors to both the plugs and the cap, battery, alternator, and tried jumping it. There's a small hose coming out from the plenum on the back that's kinda loose, so I tightened it on and tried it, then took it all the way off and tried it. Nothing.

Would taking off the rotor and drying it out possibly help? I didn't think it got wet at all before I put it on, but I've got no ideas now.

 

Ok, there was a loose connector to theback of the ignition coil. I took it off for something, but then apparently didn't put it on again snug. However, it seems like there is only one connector where on the IC there seems to be a second harness attachable. Is there supposed to be two connectors going to the IC below the male terminal lead (to the cap)? The one that's on there now fits on the passenger side half.
