    "did i get the plug wires on wrong plugs?"

    • Maybe. It's known to happen.

      car now starts. wires routed okay, but i will keep the picture for next time. :)

      did have to hold throttle to floor to start, though i doubt if it was flooded from last nights efforts to start.??

      started right up thursday as usual and drove it 20' into garage, changed manifold gaskets and then no start after that till this morning.was low on fuel and it did this once in winter. wonder if tank pump/hose going? think it is original. car has 325k.

      joys of owning a 23 year old vehicle.

      thanx for the assistance everyone. i'm sure it won't be my last request.

        sounds like you flooded the engine when you moved it into the garage. i've had this happen twice, once with a 95 850 and once with my friends '08 civic, and both times it happened was because i had turned the car on to move it out of the way and shut it off immediately. next time let it idle a minute before shutting down and you should be fine.
