[QUOTE="96S/Cobra, post: 16507449, member: 60106"] I would go buy a spark plug tester (probably under $15 at an auto parts store) and re-check your spark. I'm not saying you messed anything up by trying to use the method you did, but a tester is a cheap and easy way of checking the basics. How old is the gas that is in the tank? If it is a few months old, then you will be fine. If it is really old, your car will NOT start. I have been doing this same thing for nearly 18 years with my car. It sits for long periods of time, then is a real struggle to get it going again. Any old gas MUST be drained before the car will fire. At least from my experience over the years, one would think that old gas should at least fire up (it may run like crap, but at least fire up)...but this has not been the case. [/QUOTE]
