Pretty sure its ignition, wasn't getting any spark when i had a plug out. It has MSD everything, i thought someone told me the MSD stuff fails on 98 Cobra's? Can anyone confirm that? Also what being unhooked around the engine would also make it not start? just in case...

If its getting power but not turning over, I say get a voltmeter and check all the MSD hot wires and also the hot wire and ground wire to the starter.

I have heard from a couple forums that the 96-98 cobra do not like the Msd coils and that the stockers are still the best.

It's turning over, so the battery is doing its job. I would plug in a scanner and look for codes and a signal from the crank sensor
