    Yeah it was just too difficult to rewire the 2 sensors i had mixed up while still in the car. Esp since the IAB is tucked nicely under the manifold.

    Yeah I have spark coming out on all 4 plugs when out and grounded. Let me bring you up to speed. Spark is good, Air is good of course, Fuel doesnt seem to be the initial problem because it refused to start up with starting fluid.
