Default will do

I'll take a look at this today. I'm having it out today with the state over unemployment. I was a teacher any my position was cut May 24th and I filed then but I still haven't received an unemployment check. This is ridiculous. I've got a wife and two kids.

Default Follow up

OK, no spark from plug wire noticed. Pulled wire off as requested and placed as stated but when I tried to crank the engine no spark was visible. And no, state was as useless as Senate and House in Washington. Still no approval and no idea when.

Default Fuel pressure regulator

I took off vacuum tube on regulator and there is not any fuel in the line. It's bone dry.

I am going to suggest you check the following site . It spells out each step for checking a no start and you can refer to it as you check each step at your leisure.
www.easy auto diagnostics .com
