Red wagon was running a couple days ago. Now it won't start, though apparently it's not the electrical supply to the fuel pump this time (which it seems to have been other times, since the pump was silent when it wouldn't start, then).
What I did since it last ran:
1) forgot to put the main coil wire back on, and even hooked up the little wires backwards; cranked it several times.
2) after disconnecting the battery, removed the two ground wires under the dash right beside the hood-release handle (to check if the broken-looking one was broken; it wasn't)
3) momentarily jumped Left side #4 to Right side #6 - something buzzed, but I may have touched another fuse in the process (all the fuses are still intact)
Now it cranks, does not "catch" at all, I smell gas slightly, the main fuel pump is buzzing nicely...
I really don't "get" electricity. Did I mess something up there? Just thought I would check to see if I somehow made a major boo-boo with those three things before I start trying to track down something else...
thanks
Joy
