I replaced my coils and plugs now when I crank the engine over it wants to start but won't and there is smoke coming out the mufflers now. What do I do?? Any help would be awesome!!!

 

Can you describe exactly how far you get in the starting process?

Did you connect the plug wires in the right order?

Are the plug wires firmly seated on both ends?

 

Yes they are connected right and tight. When I crank the engine over it sounds like it's running until I let go of the key and now it is smoking while I'm cranking it.

 

Any chance you can upload a video? That still doesn't make much sense. Cranking speed is 200-300rpm, and idle is 850rpm, and that difference is very obvious

 

Upload a video of what my car is doing on here?

 

How do I upload a video on here?

 

Easiest is to upload it to youtube, photobucket, etc... and paste the link here.

 

Ok what do you need to see in the video?

 

not really "see". It's the sound I'm listening for. It's usually one of the biggest clues.

 

When jumper cables are hocked up to it is when it will almost start up this is without them.

 

Uh, that has got to be one of the worse sounding start attempts I'ver ever heard. Something is rather wrong, and the sharpness of the volume up near the front of the car suggests that you have something venting straight to atmosphere at or near the engine. Like if you left one or more spark plugs out, which are right behind the tire that is closest to the recorded.

Could you check those plugs again?

 

What would I need to check for I just put them in about an hour ago or so?

 

See if one popped out is what he is telling you

 

Yes. Disconnect the wires, pull the plugs again, look at them, inspect them, re-install them and torque correctly. I'm betting that either a plug itself has broken along the core (it's happened), or one or more plugs aren't torqued correctly and have pushed their way back out of the engine, allowing the air/fuel charge to escape at the plug instead of being compressed. I'm guessing that it will be REALLY obvious once you get down there and start going through the process.

 

sounds like only one rotor is attempting to fire to me. meaning one of your coils/wires/lead plugs is faulty or your ignition wire installation isn't quite as "right" as you think.

listed from front of the car to the rear:

coil #1: leading rotor 1, front housing lower spark plug
coil #2: trailing rotor 1, front housing top spark plug
coil #3: leading rotor 2, rear housing lower spark plug
coil #4: trailing rotor 2, rear housing top spark plug

only the leading coils fire on cranking, which are coil #1 and #3. without one of those 2 firing or firing their respective rotor(not both running to a single rotor) then the engine will struggle to start.

you should probably just start over with the information from this thread. if everything still results in the same then you probably have a faulty coil or the coil clips somehow got installed onto the wrong coils. dropping a spark plug by mistake can also cause the armature to touch the electrode, yielding no spark so check all the plugs to see if the gaps are equal.

 

Ok I checked all the plugs,wires, and coils to make sure everything is correct I'm going to upload another video let me know what you all think.

 

Let know what y'all think please!!

 

Did you reconnect all other connections properly, like the MAF, the harness plus on the coils, etc? It's a bit difficult to diagnose just from what's in this video, you'll have to give us more detail on what was done, what parts were disconnected while changing the coils and how everything is plugged back together. Video/pics of that would be best actually.

 

Oh boy, reminds me when my engine blew a seal. Not that yours did, but the sound is what caught my attention.

 

Dont jynx it grace!!!
