ok so my water pump seal goes out. time to change it. little did i know what was instore for me. any way after replacing the pump, housing and lower radiator hose (just cause it was easy to reach) my car wont start. at first i thought it was just flooded (easy enough to fix) after doing the fuse trick nothing happend just spun no turing over. so i try the big flood fix with some new sparkplugs... still nothing. i think somthing is wrong with my coil packs b/c when it did the ohm test i got -08.0 for the leading and -7.9 for both the trailing coils. even took the plug out and held it near the intake manifold while a friend tried to start the car... still no spark

please help not driving my 7 for this long is making me crazy



also thanks to rotaryman88 for all his help in the chat room

 

Is the air flow meter plugged in?

 

? where is that

 

Right behind the airbox.

 

yup found it and its plugged in

 

Have you actually checked for spark? I mean run through the basics... is there spark, is there fuel?

 

how should i check for spark and as for fuel well i can smell it

 

Spark is easy, pull a plug ground it out, turn the motor over and watch for spark. Fuel... to start, pull the fuel line where it goes into the side of the engine (drivers side) and again turn the engine over and watch for fuel to come flying out.

 

these cars have a mind of their own. let me know if it works

 

What year is the car? My guess is that you knocked something loose when you did the job. That's the only explanation.
