check for a spark at the spark plug wires by following these instructions and post your results. We can start here and walk you through the diagnosis/repair of this problem.
Check for a spark
In order to check for a spark at one of the spark plug wires, remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug. Connect it to a spark tester and connect the other end of the spark tester to a good engine ground (a bolt will do fine). Have an assistant to crank the engine and you should see a spark jump the gap in the spark tester. If so, the ignition system is doing its’ job. If not, more testing f the ignition system is required.
