I have a 2002 S10 2.2l that I changed the spark plugs and wires on and now it won't start. I've checked everything, fuel pressure, spark, fuses, and relays. It will turn over and crank for a split second but then it immediately dies. If I remove one of the spark plugs,(it doesn't matter which one) then it will crank. What could this be? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You must have knocked something loose or crossed plug wires, did it run ok before that?

Sounds like you Simply mixed the wires to the coil packs. search for a diagram of your spark plugs by number and your coil packs to spark plug by number.

Whenever I do spark plugs and wires I do one wire and one plug at a time or take a piece of tape and number each plug as you pull it off and then make a diagram yourself of which spark plug you're going to number by what.

As I understand it, 2.2L has crank sensor vice distributor, so how does one know what cylinder is firing. Also, what is firing order? Those two answers will help a lot in resolving this no start/run situation.
