it doesnt take a rocket scientist to understand the basics to get a motor to run which i have read extensively on this site-"engine will not fire for beginners" by one of the moderators and have spent many hours going over other threads and it has helped. I have to disagree with you that the fix is possibly not a "quick fix"-perhaps not to me obviously but I m ok with that. Your attitude comes across quite condensending and really i do find it somewhat offensive. Obviously from your credentials , you are the expert but is the purpose of your replies to help or to show how much smarter you are than everyone else?? No one is forcing you to reply to a post and my questions ONLY to you seem unworthy of this web site. If this site was ONLY for people with credentials and qualified mechanics, and the rules of the forum stated such, then I could understand your attitude. Moreover, on this post, there are two conflicting views with regard to the CPS and coil spark test so I feel it has added some value. Thanks.
