What is it they say? It only takes three things for a car to run:
spark
gas
air
So one or more of those things isn't correct (well I suppose there
could be worse things but we'll assume it's just one of those to
start). I'd check to be sure you're getting spark to your plugs. You
can check this by sticking a screwdriver in one of the spark plug wires
and holding the wire/screwdriver combination very near the body. If it
sparks from the screwdriver to the body, you've got spark. Please
correct me if there's a better/safer way to do this.
