I replaced the coil with a new one today. Still no go. Cranking but not starting. I check the spark plugs, they seem a little wet with gasoline. I also tried pressing the accelerator pedal all the way down to stop the flow of gasoline.

While cranking, the intake butterfly goes down by about half a mm and it resists when pressing down.

At TDC, the rotor was pointing at the Cylinder 1 (three scribed marks) .
Reference resistor is about 750 ohm.

Would a blocked catalytical converter prevent the engine from starting?
