U probably blew a fuse.. the new bolt was probably too tight or something and it cant spin, caused an amperage spike and blew a fuse. Check your fuses, see if any are linked between seatbelts/ignition etc.. This is the BEST case scenario..

 

thats the longest sentence ive ever read

like he said check fuses

 

lol im quite suprised I got anything out of that sentence. Im quite positive hes from another country lol

 

i check the fuse in the engine bay all seems good i think it could be my connection to the battery as it is loose as i can just pull it off? lol also should i check the fuses under the dash if so which one?

 

Check your positive terminal. clean in and tighten it properly. Check the part where it clamps down on the actual wire. i had residue in that area once, and it shorted out the circuit every time.

 

the same thing happened to my MX-6. as stated before, check your fuses and make sure your battery terminals are clean and make sure they are connected properly

 

hhmmm i did all that check all the fuse and and wiring for some reason it still not starting but it cranks it goes crank,crank,crank,crank then stop so i have to re-turn the key and crank crank crank stop iuono whats going on got damn

UPDATE
Well not iuono what happened it wont crank now but is stil able to turn the key and wont crank the light stays on on the dash and everything but now when i turn it,it a no go.....

 

Hm. Maybe you have an ignition switch out. Can you turn the key and it'll go to "ON" and just wont crank or turn over?

 

yup it turn on but it wont turn over or crank it was cranking before iguess cranking it alot something happened now it not cranking no more

 

i have to ask. did you put the spark plug wires back in the proper order?

 

i believe so

 

Go outside right now, And play with the wires from the valve cover. Put them in different orders.

 

well today i took off my starter and took it to autozone and they said it was fine so now i have 3 other options is it the DIST. or the starter relay or the alternator i also clean off the gunk off of the battery wire/clamp and check all the fuse which is still good so now what to do

now i cant even crank it but is able to turn it to the ignition nothing but light and every thing is bright and still on

ps how can you tell if your dist,alt,or starter relay went out also could it be the ignition switch??

 

Did you check your wires?

 

hmm i installed my starter back now it cranking but it still a no go it sound like it doesnt want to crank or it trying to orrr it like it getting caught or something?? also im noob how you hot wire the starter to the battery?? well ima take the battery to autozone tomorrow to get it test and fully charged also im getting another starter relay just to be cautious(where is it located the relay??)

 

i cant understand the question..

 

I cant understand him period. Not enough Info. idk.

 

where is the starter relay located?

 

you said the car is cranking now? you're starter relay should be fine then.
if you've been cranking the motor a lot without a start, you may have drained your battery. (probably not the root of the problem)
the car worked before you did your tune up, so i'd go back and make sure everything was done right and put back in the right place.
and you should word your sentences better. the better we understand you, the better we can help you.

 

well i got my battery tested and they said it was fine put it back in my car and tried to crank it. It's still crank but wont turn over after that i went to see if i was getting any sparks from the plugs and to see if my distributor was working everything checked out fine so now im stuck....

 

again, retrace your steps while you were doing your tune up.
it seems like you caused the problem while you were doing it.
confirm that you have the spark plug wires in the right order on the distributor side.
look around for anything you might've knocked loose.
and use more punctuation next time you post.

 

Sorry but its hard to understand your posts. But from what I've gathered so far, sounds like a battery connections. That is why your dash and eccesory lights are on and off sometimes.

 

Not to Thread jack but...

Just bought a 1990 240 myself an i have the same problem.. But everything work's but the car starting... it cranks over.. did it for awhile then it stopped altogether.... I know bad gas is a factor (Car been sitting over a year) Seen that it was missing alot if fuses so i went out an got some new one's. Im gong to get new fuel filter an Pump, Wires an Spark plugs later on. Car hasn't been started in over a year. .... So i guess im in the same boat...

The Guy before me said he got the head rebuild put it on an didn't start after that.. Car an motor has 149,495 miles on it.

 

Have you checked to see if you have any gas?

 

If your asking me that question.. Yes the car has a quarter tank of gas.
