1988 no start
I have a 1988 convertible, I parked in the garage for several weeks and went to start no luck. I have a couple questions. I went to replace plugs and wires but did not mark. I re-installed the pugs but did not mark the wires when discnnecting. cannot find firing order on wires from coil to block, which plug is t1,t2, L1,L2,. need help on reconnecting wires to plug from coils.
2nd question is what would cause no start condition I can smell fuel so it seems more of a no spark issue than a no fuel concern. Possibly crank sensor or coil issue??, fuses all seem to be fine unless I am missing something.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

"T" and "L" are cast into the housings near the spark plug holes. The front rotor is #1 and the rear rotor is #2. Match this with the markings on the coils.
If you can smell fuel, it's probably flooded. Pull the 40A EGI COMP fuse, crank the engine for a couple seconds, replace the fuse and try again.

front rotor farthest from firewall #1 and closest #2. I will pull fuse and try, what are the odds something is wrong with coil or igniters all of a sudden.

Since you had the car parked for a couple weeks,just sitting there.The car most likely is just plain old Flooded.,It happens to older cars with Fuel injection.

I pulled plugs and inj fuse cranked over several times re-installed plugs and fuse and it fired up had to feather the throttle for a little to keep running took it out and drove it doing some feathering between clutch and throttle at first ran it up and down the expressway, once it was cleaned out. It starts, runs and idles fine again.
