but the weather here is perfect ? I was thinking since the gas tank wasn't past 1/4 maybe there was a fuel pressure issue. But I will take a look at the wires and the area around them.....

thanks for the help

I got it. So today while I was at the grocery store it didn't want to start again ? Hmm I said wtf is the problem. I looked at a few things made sure wires are not corroded or anythings not out of place. So i press the sparkg plug wires in and to my surprise 3 out of the 4 were not even touching the distributer ( the clicking part ) So wtf these wires are really nice for the record theye are nology wires, I'm gonna give nology a call tomorrow and do hell raising lol.
