OK. So I got the new head on and everything put back together and now the car wont start. Ive moved the CAS the full allowed area and back again while trying to start the car and I still get nothing. Ive quadrule checled all electical connections and all vaccuume hoses and they are on right. I replace the coilpack, checked the temperature sensor, installed a new one and it still wont start. It almost acts like its not turning over fast enough. I checked spark (brand new spark plugs) and its getting great spark and I checked fuel. Its getting fuel as well. Ive also quadruple checked the timing marks on the cams and the crank. Everything lines up perfect. Next im going to check compression, and then maybe try a pushstart??? Maybe its just not turning over fast enough? Sometimes if I charge the battery to 100% it acts like it ALMOST wants to start then goes to the normal just turning over but not firing. Any suggestions? Thanks Guys!
