My car won't start after doing a compression test.

I wasn't getting spark.
But I am now....I fixed it! :rocker:
I replaced the ignition coil and the ICM (ignition control module), and it fired right up on the first try. But shit that compression test ended up costing alot of money.
Ign. coil = $53
ICM = $67
rotor + rotor screw = $8.65
Vise grips (to get the bitch ass, stripped rotor screw out) = $15
Spark tester = $7
Fluke multimeter (to run tests) = $180

I later found out after searching and asking around TI that it's not uncommon for these items to get burnt out when running compression tests. I wish I could have learned that shit ahead of time!

Granted, I didn't need to buy the most expensive multimeter they had at Sears, but it's something I should have bought a long time ago. It comes in handy for alot of things I do with cars, this thing can do everything!
