my 97 gt mostly stock over heated awhile back, i was coastin down the street and it overheated. i popped the clutch because it cut off and there was traffic behind me. since then i had it towed to the house. it still wouldnt start. i changed out the spark plugs because they fouled out due to water gettin in the chambers, i got a new starter, a new battery, because it sounded as tho the motor didnt have enough power to turn over. i checked to see if i was gettin spark by removing the plugwire and turnin it over and it does get spark. i did an oil change so the motor would turn easier. but it still wont start. the pullies do move when i turn the key but it just wont run. any suggestions?
