    Changed spark plugs, rotors, 2 distributor caps. Car has spark turns over, but it won't start. Any suggestions.

    Try to spray brake cleaning fluid or starter fluid into the inlet manifold. If it starts there is a fuel delivery problem. Can be pump related; pump not running.

    How long since it ran last? Check the fuel pump connectors at the fuse panel.

    Hi Frank, dont go chasing ghosts.Was the car running prior to the plugs and cap change? If so, look to what you fiddled with.Otherwise a shot of ether will tell if it is lack of fuel.Go step by step. Not to be unkind ,but if you do not know where the air goes in you should probably study up on the car prior to digging into the motor in even the smallest way. Good luck,Mike
