No fire after water pump replacement
I just got done replacing my water pump after a long ordeal with a broke bolt in the block. But anyway I get all done with that crap and now it ain't getting any fire!! It just turns over and over and over but no fire! The lights work and the radio works but no fire. The only thing that happened was at first I forgot to disconnect the negative battery post before I got started and when I was disconnecting the alternator it hit the dipstick tube and sparked. That is the only thing I can figure that caused this issue. It is about to drive me crazy! Please help!
Thanks.
Thanks.

It must have just been a short in the wire going to the coil. I went back out with my multimeter and tested the fuses and stuff. Hooked up my spare ignition module and still the same thing. So then I straightend out the wires running to the coil, because when I undid the coil I just pushed the wires back up onto the intake. When I tried it again it fired right up! YEAH!! So I'm all good again. Just wanted to let ya'll know so no one came back with suggestions I don't need anymore.
Thanks

be sure you get new wires soon. heard a story about a totaled out ingition system cause a wire was burned out and was arcing 4 inches up from the coil to light the plugs. truck ran till it couldnt jump the gap anymore, then the spark had to go somewhere, so it went back through the whole system and "sizzle."
