how many different ground cables are there?? i know theres theres the one the left side of the engine...but were would i find the others??how many different ground cables are there?? i know theres theres the one the left side of the engine...but were would i find the others??

There are three common reasons for oil on the plugs. A blown head gasket, worn valve stem oil seals and worn piston rings. The most likely reason will probably be the head gasket.
Check the coolant overflow tank for oil floating on top of the coolant. This is a sign of a blown head gasket.
For Valve stem oil seals check the following... On a Cold start you get a large thick cloud of blue coloured exhaust smoke. You also get the same smoke when going from idle to higher engine revs. Such as pulling away from a red traffic light after sitting waiting for traffic.
Does the vehicle use a lot of oil? Does it have excessively smoky exhaust gas, usually more of a grey/white colour, when driving? Has it lost power? Look in the engine air filter box. Is there oil? Worn piston rings sometimes cause 'blow back' where an oil/air vapour is forced back through the air intake into the air filter box.
You need to take the cylinder head off to change the head gasket, check how straight the cylinderhead is and see for cracks in the head. Knocking can imply that the water has blocked the piston and the connecting rod has been bent--> see the height of all pistons.
sorry to tell you but you have a blown headgasket or cracked cylinder head. that is why the coolant blows out of the radiator and the engine won't start due to engine compression getting into the cooling system.
No fire at the plugs means no power to the coil/coils or the coil/coils are bad. You say it won't start, I'll take that it does crank over and won't fire. You have to have power from the switch to the coil, coil to distributor, and cranking sends fire to plugs. With a test light, check that there IS power from the switch and ongoing. This is a must do.
I assume you have checked the ignition system and that you are getting a spark at the plugs. If there is no spark, it could be either the Trigger Module inside the distributor or the coil itself.
You refilled the water so where did the water you lost go? I suspect it is in the engine combustion chamber. You need to see if you have a blown head gasket and to see why it overheated before trying to start it. Remove all spark plugs and turn if over. If coolant blows out of the cylinders you have a blown head gasket.
you might have blown the head gasket, check for oil and water in mixture in the oil tip stick, it will show up as brownish colour on the dip stick, check all fuse and relay make sure there all good.
how many different ground cables are there?? i know theres theres the one the left side of the engine...but were would i find the others??
