When I put everything back together after another head gasket repair, I may have wired the vapor canister purge solenoid and the neighboring EGR vacuum solenoid incorrectly. As in, the wiring is going to the wrong/reverse solenoid. 🤔It's a tight fight for the wiring harness down there, and I lost my pictures when I did a phone reset.
I guess my questions currently are:
Will I mess up anything if I switch the wire connectors on the solenoids?
Or is the wiring fine, and I messed up in reconnecting vacuum lines?
I doubt that things could go worse at this point because I'm getting no start, had one backfire, smell LOTS of fuel, and my new spark plugs are toasted. 🙄
Any help would be much appreciated. Just a hint at where I should be looking next as my timing is correct.
