Need a little help.

Okay, so my car won't crank. I'm just guessing and checking reasons why. I've checked fuel pump, I have gas, and it's not the battery. Only thing I can guess is the spark plugs. I took the cam cover thing off and changed the spark plugs into new NGK platinum plugs. The hard part now is that I can't get the stupid things lined back up now. Is there a simple way to get that cover back on with them lined up perfect? Should the rubber and clip be put on the spark plugs first or put them on the cover and then lined up? If you need pictures I could go attempt to get some in the dark. Thanks for the help ahead of time.

IT wont CRANK or turn on? You can crank the motor even with the ICM disconnected. If its not turning over at all check you power obviously and than you starter. Check also your crank sensor, touch the plug or whatever.

push the fuel rail out of your way ( just slightly ) and ull get it in just takes a little bit of patience

Yeh man, it took a lot of patience. But yeh, i took out two bolts and pushed it outta the way. Car still isnt cranking. I cant think of any other reasons it wont crank.

happened to me about a month ago. all i did was let it sit for a day and a half and changed the plugs and it turned over randomly one time, try pushing on the gas when your starting it. mine made like a burping noise and then started right up. someone said it coulda been "airlocked"

The best thing for this is to replace the crap coils with remotely mounted MSD coils.
