My valve cover gasket went bad so my tubes were filling with oil, the car still ran though just not that great. Took everything apart and replaced the valve cover gasket and spark plugs along with new boot and coil. Now the car will not start, will not crank, just does nothing when I turn the key.

Hello,

I have this car and I was looking at the valve cover and noticed the weather pack connectors are a little tough to get together completely for the injectors and ignition coils. Can you double check them for me? Also, there is a small ground wire that needs to be connected to the left of the valve cover.

Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers, Ken
