^^ thats pretty much it.. I can smell exhaust but it smells very rich.. like its not even combusting, not sure why cause the coil is good wires are new and the plugs look fine.

if your not sure about spark, that would be something very valuable to find out.

[theother1wstolen]

also with the new cams dont you need to tune the ecu?

[DubsSuck]

not the BC stage 2.. stage 3 yes

and yes spark would be good, so would knowing how to test if i have it.

[theother1wstolen]

stick a screwdrive between the gap and hold the screwdriver near some bare metal on the frame, keep it away from the valve cover or anything oily tho.

ok but what do i look for.. im assuming spark. and is that with the wire pluged in? do i have to crank it?

[theother1wstolen]

yeah, your looking for a spark, and you have to be trying to crank it, pull the fuel pump fuse before hand also so you dont flood it out.
