Wierd misfire leads to no fire?
Ok, Havent drove the car in around 4 days. Went to start it after it had sat and it turns over for about 6 seconds and finally starts, runs really rough, and then dies. car doesn't start at all after this. I then took all of my plugs out and cleaned them all off. they were soaked as i figured when i took them out. then I turned the car over for about a second to blow the excess fuel out of the engine. Anyway, put the plugs back in and the car still doesnt start. I pulled a plug wire off and put an old spark plug on the end and turn the car over for a brief second to check for spark. absolutely no spark. also checked the other 3 plug wires for spark and they didnt either.
So i reset the ECU by unhooking battery and pumping the brakes and try this again, this time i have bright blue spark on all of the plug wires!! so i put plug wires back on the plugs and try to start the car again, but still wont start. I just replaced the plugs a few weeks ago. Basically I am thinking that somehow i ruined my plugs.
Also wondering how this could even happen? Should i replace coils? they have between 5 and 7k miles on them as i replaced them when i got the car. Just wondering if it may not be getting enough spark or something i am confused.
And another side note, i hooked the battery up to a charger when i tried to start the car the first time. left dome light on, didnt know if this could have possibly lead to the issue..
BTW I have unhooked the ESS and cleaned it, cleaned MAF and my compression isnt low on either rotor. also the car ran perfect prior to this
