I have a 1989 probe gt Ive changed the ignition coil ignition control module, plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. The vehicle starts then when you open the throttle any amount it'll shut down. I checked the resistance on the coil and it was high, so i went and replaced it, now vehicle wont start, I pulled the plugs out and they are wet with gas. Ive tried starting fluid, still wont start..
