AROUND the same vicinity of the sparkplug, will be an injector if it is direct injection. if not, your injector will be at the bottom of your manifold plate right under your intake manifold.if you trace the middle wire on the distributor cap back to where it begins, you'll find the coil pack. look for this to spark when the engine is on and idle in park.it's possible that you got a bad set of wires or plugs when you put them in...or, maybe you didnt gap the plugs, if they werent pre-gapped. when you and your friend put the plugs in, did you gap them with a gapping tool? or did you just bust em out of the box and throw em in? that could be a problem...im just trying to rule things out here. i'd check to make sure you didnt overfill your oil, check the color of the oil, check the plugs, if they're fouled(oiley) grab a new set or take a blow torch to them for a minute or so each. and DEFINATELY, start the engine cold, with cold plugs, let it run for a minute or two, then kill it and grab the plugs out fast, test each temp with your fingers or a digital thermometer.keep us posted.</blockquote>
