·Laurie, I read your post about your doofus...but now I must ask for the award for myself...
I can admit that is is really my first doofus from working on cars.
I was timing my car yesterday and I was inspecting the inside of my distributer and checking the gap on the ignition. I removed the rotor...checked the gap...replaced the cap and continued checking some other things. I go to start my car...lot's of turns...won't start. I check everything...couldn't find anything wrong and tried to start again. Still won't start. I look again and look for anything out of the ordinary and I found it. My rotor was sitting on my tool set. DOH!!!!
It gets better. I put it back in and started the car and it runs fine. Later that night (after dinner) I go back out to to some fine tuning like checking my gap again and plugs/wires etc before the sun went down (since I have to work outside)and then shut the hood. My fiancee went to start the car this morning and it wouldn't start. Now I'm confused...Opened the hood...and I had forgot to reattach the cap after I adjusted the gap on the car the evening before.
DOH...DOH!!!!
I'm sure there will be many more...
