1. check your spark at each plug wire,check spark plugs.
2. Check make sure your timing belt is still on and you have compression.
If all that seems good it may be your tune. I have had similar problems and 1000s would dump fuel after i shut the car off causing the cylinders to flood and foul out the plugs. if your getting spark and your compression is good it should at least huff and puff.

He said he has spark. After you try starting the car, pull out a spark plug and see if it has fuel on it. if it doesnt your injectors may not be pulsing. You would need a little more than a spray of starting fluid for it to start and when it does it will only stay on for about 2 sec.

Re: msd/spark issue car wont start (weird!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I traced some wires made a possible repair to one wire hooked the msd box back up and the car started again. I cut it off and then it would'nt start. I bypassed the msd again and it still wont start. There's something else causing the issue. Im going to try a new coil tomorrow for the hell of it. whats next? anyone know how to test the main relay or ignition pickup?

you would need a scope check ignition pickup. main relay can be easily checked with volt meter or test light. MSD ignition boxes are crap iv seen alot of them fail.

Re: msd/spark issue car wont start (weird!!!!!!!!!!!!)
the pickup is in the dizzy right? its a little module with four prongs. Anyone have the steps to check the main relay. Also does anyone have a chart showing what out put/ input should be at the ecu harness? My check engine light still wont flash the code, just stays solid
