twin plug ignition

Hi guys!
I need some help with my ranger 91´ 2.3 lt. twin plug ignition.

My truck was running so good but like a month ago, I took out the spark plugs to clean them up, then i put them back and I tryed to turn it on, but it won´t start, the engines rotates but won´t start.

I got spark on the right coil(passenger side), But not in the left coil
the gas pump is working,the inertia switch is resetted, and i also check the DIS module, the timing marks on crankshaft and camshaft are lined up,I did´nt check the crankshaft timing sensor but I think is working cause I got spark on right coil.

Okey here is a cuestion for you guys!

If got spark and gas injected, when the engine cranks, why it does´nt make any stalls or backfires?

I will really appreciate your help to find out what is wrong with my truck.


thanks.
Petrixx

Welcome to FTE! I suppose this is a dumb question but are the plug wires in the right order?

did you have to unplug the coilpack in order to get the first plug out. I know I did. see if it's plugged in.
