Rig won't start! Help!

[WolfpackTLC]

This is left-over from my last thread about the alternator.... I washed all the mud out of the engine bay and now it won't start.... https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=23994

Sorry to be so vague, but I've checked the cap, rotor, and wires... as well as the coil.... It's turning over just fine, but has no spark.. ideas?


UPDATE:

The rig turns over, and it's getting FUEL... you can smell it coming out of the tailpipe...

It's not flooded.. YET....

So I'm guessing it's a spark issue.

I've dried out the cap and rotor... as well as the plug wires.... it's showing a CEL, but I obviously can't drive it anywhere to check it...

Any thoughts?

I think the CEL stays on until the engine starts, I could be mistaken I'll check today


do you have a timing light? you can check for spark with it

Nope... I HAVE a timing light, but someone is borrowing it.... damn it.

i'm sure you checked your plugs. I had water get around the #6 plug cover one time.

Hmph.... just started right up... I have NO IDEA why... Oh well....

Runs like crap tho.... cap and rotor look like crap... time to replace them...
