[QUOTE="jarance, post: 351244, member: 21"] The thing about DIY is that you must do one thing at a time and not be too ambitious. Hee...hee.. Now you dont know where is the problem cos you work on so many thing. I think it most likely the distributor caps as you dont have sparks there. 1. To check for sparks condition, just remove one spark plugs from the engine. 2. pull out one of the HT cable and put the spark plug there. 3. crank your engine and check for spark. 4. repeat for #2, #3 and #4 cable. [B][COLOR="Red"]BTW, did you mixed up the HT cables. If the HT cable is connect in the wrong sequence, your engine would not fire.[/COLOR][/B] As for the AFM, there is a way to check. let me check my manual.. If your RPM is unstable at 2.5K, there is a lot of other things affecting it.. [/QUOTE]
