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.

Pull the coil wire from the distributor cap-ground it to the engine and have helper crank engine over-Do you have spark? Coil/module has been replaced-test the distribiutor pick up coil resistances and for a short to ground on each lead-
