We tried the whole gas thing. And as far as it sparking, we took it out of the engine and touched it against the outside of the engine and saw no spark

DeadGeneration said:The new plugs and wires and still no spark. Going to electric test the whole engine bay when I get off work tonight. Fun fun fun

DeadGeneration said:We checked the fuses and they are all ok. We tested all the electrical and found that the distrubtor broke. Theory is: Distributor was already going out the door, and we just tipped it over the edge by trying to start the car with seafoam. This is my friends 1993 Toyota Camry btw, he knows nothing about cars and I told him I would look at it. We changed the radiator fluid, fixed his tail pipe which needed to be heated, remolded, and sanded. Than we checked tire pressure, cleaned the engine bay, and finally went to seafoam. After seafoam planning on changing oil. In the mean time i've discovered a completely oblitterated and patched up air intake, which luckily doesn't have a MAF it has a separate O2 sensor which has remained out of the way of the ****** up intake or seafoam. I found a broken vacuum line which I patched together. Anyway, we need a new distributor now which we're going to get. Also we replaced the spark plugs and wires which were also ****** up. This car is getting a complete mechanical and electrical run down. Its amazing how cars can run on barely working things and this stuff would have eventually broken down on the side of the road and cost alot more money, but were fixing things and breaking and replacing things before they do it at a critical time of need. So anyway, looking for a used distributor tomorrow and picking up another ignition rotor. <3 real mechanics

amsgator said:did u have to change ur oil twice? someone told me the first new oil u put it in will turn black immediately from everything the seafoam got off that the old oil left behind. so u then need to change that oil for new fresh oil and ur good to go. ?
amsgator said:anyone confirmed this?
