not starting

yup, thats what I'm going to do, thanks for helping me decide. I'll just try not to learn anything about this car from people who might actually know and want to help.

I'll stick to screwing up my other car then cause at least I can work on it without screwing it up.

I like helping small business also so, perfect solution.

Relax...
It's the internet.

But, that said, with your skill set, what did you expect to do?
It's been laid out by very competent folks, google what you don't understand, do your homework, and you'll get it. Starting at the bottom stinks, but we all did it at some point. It'll be easier next time!

^ Definitely. I was having ignition problems with an old bike, so it's transferred over to my thoughts on here. At some point though, if it's not coming, towing it to a pro is what we all end up doing on some of this stuff. Nothing wrong with that and you can always learn something form your mechanic too. Without the car in front of me, not sure what more to suggest that SK didn't already. Good luck and post back your findings as it will help others in the future.

You want to test for voltage going into your coils and grounding on the frame.

So basically you pull a coil, stick something like a screwdriver into the coil. Set the screwdriver about 2-3mm away from anything metal that's grounded. A shock tower would do great.

Now have someone crank the motor and look for a spark. If you can see a spark you don't have ignition voltage issues.
