I put diesel fuel in a gas engine by mistake. I've done every protocol known to remedy. Cleaning the tank cleaning the fuel system cleaning the plugs new wires. I have fuel pressure. Now starting fluid but won't even make it sputter. It has run ruggedly before I replace the wires. Now it's like I have absolutely no spark when all the plugs are clean and the wires are new.

Good afternoon,

Did you replace the injectors? I would at least have them cleaned. I attached a procedure for the cleaning.

Can you check for spark at one of the plugs while cranking?

What is the fuel pressure?
