Replaced ignition coil and now the chevy will not turn over. All wires and connections look clean and snug. I have gone from no high speeds to no speed. Any ideas?

Sounds like no spark: A bad coil, faulty electronic module or a bad magnetic pickup coil

Are you saying it cranks good but won't start. If so, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the plugs, anything?

If the starter won't even crank, I'd have to make sure the battery has a full charge. Go from there.

Got it. Now for the road test. We will see if I can get it up to 55 without the P.O.S. Cutting out. Thanks for all the help.
