1996 Aurora we replaced the secondary water pump, was starting fine before, drove it

onto ramp for repair- now wont fire - getting fuel but no fire . The battery was
disconnected for 3 weeks? double checked all wire connections & not getting service

engine light when turned on? did nothing to the admissions just replaced pump was

running fine @the time just over heating.... Please, any suggestions???

 

Double check your primary wire to the distributor. It is possible that you lost that during maintenance. Ask yourself, "what did I remove to do the water pump job?" then back track and check every item and the stuff around that item. What I mean is, if one item was "disconnect and loosen the serpentine belt" check not only that but other stuff in the area. Maybe you inadvertently disconnected something, a wire, anything. Good luck.

 

no distribitor - we have a coil pack in this car??? I beleive we've checked everything - this is so awful never had problems starting ever b4 ? can't even trade it in now, not that i really wanted, just want it to start

 

Its almost has to be a coil pack wire or a relay or fuse. cheack for ignition relays and fuses. when it does start it will run funny untill the comp. relerns the idle speed.
