[QUOTE="Mkviiiswap97gt, post: 16704447, member: 202813"] Well..... Just about everything I have a video of my most recent steps, but back to the begining i could think of i assumed it was my clutch because when it broke down the first time i was barely able to drive it home and I mean BARELY, after the clutch was done i noticed one of the mickey moused vaccum lines was ripped so i replaced the connector and threw some new spark plugs in and it wouldnt start I sprayed some starter fluid after replacing my battery that tested bad but had full charge, Nothing. Then I had a neighbor help me check for spark at the end of the boots, He said nothing happened when I would crank it,So i assumed the coil packs were shot out since they were duralast, I replaced them since almost every sensor in the engine bay is lifetime warranty but no change. He recommended i change the MAF sensor, nothing happened. My gf told me a story on how her 300zx wouldnt start because of an alternator once so i purchased one of those as well ....nothing.
