If you're not familiar with the battery or if it's old you might want to check it's amperage.

turns out that i had a fried up ecu cuz when i replaced the whole distributor, rotor, and spark plugs it still wouldnt start. the only thing me and my budy could think of was my wiring and ecu. so when i poped a new one in and cranked that baby it started right up! :woot2:

i had bot the eg it was gheto swaped and the wire jobs was just tied, tucked and wrapped up with electric tape. so over time the tape eventually came off and i guess made a short to ground and messed up the ecu.
thanks for your help and suggestions guys :thumb:
