When I did the total 60K, put everything back together, it would crank and
crank but no start.  I hadn't changed the wires, so the order on the coil
was the same; checked spark, ok, fuel pressure, ok.  Couldn't figure it out.
Pulled the front 3 (new) plugs, all wet w/gas.  Blew them off, reinstalled,
and this time it momentarily caught then back to no start.  So, floored the
throttle, and darned if it didn't start, run poorly, then even out and run
ok.  Never did it before or since; I guess the computer was totally confused
or something.  It sounded like no compression at the time, I think fuel was
washing down the cylinder walls.  Changed the oil again the next day.
