ok, here's the deal, i've remove the upper and side chain guides. put everything back to spec. align the distributor to the lines just like here:zerothread?id=105618 . my car is an s13. I started it up and it ran but rough. I let it ran for 30 seconds and i stepped on the gas. The car boggs down so i let go of the gas pedal. Did it again, but this time i step it all the way down a bit and the engine dies. I restart it but it just cranks now. I've check my mark, set my crank marking on TDC and realign my distributor but when i go to start it, it won't fire, just cranks and cranks. Anyone wanna help me.. really in need of help....msn messenger name is [email protected]. Help please

Are you sure the plug wires are where they're supposed to be?
