stock wheels no lift stock engine...
Ok so a couple days ago I got rear ended, nothing much just bent the bumper. the next day it started to miss while accelerating and idling. Figured it needed a tune up so I replaced the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, and topped off the fluids. It idled a little rough after wards checked the coil, it didn't have spark so I replaced it, thinking that if its new it has to be better than the one in it at least. It still didn't fire. Now im not getting a thing... any ideas? Tomorrow im thinking, replace the ignition pick up in the distributor, and if that doesn't do it im replacing the TFI. Does anyone have anything to add or anything I am doing wrong here?
After the "idling rough" I took it for a test drive, rode rough, and I gunned it, it died and I came to a stop after that. That's where I stopped getting spark. I started messing around with the plug going into the ignition pick up, sliding it in and out and I could hear sparking and it would try to turn over but would go back to having nothing.
