cam sensor reading? is the crank reading the reluctor ring, reluctor ring installed. are you getting sprak?. are all fuses good?

you may need to provide a lil more information so people can help or give advice buddy.

Have to tested compression, was the car running fine before? Was the head re-surfaced before it was installed?

make sure the crank position sensor plate is on in the right direction. flipping it 180* could cause this.

Yea every thing is on right the car was running before

You checked everything? Obviously not if it still won't start. Go back and check fuses and sensors, one has to be bad.

Not sure if the Question of Are you getting spark was answered.
Need to pull those plugs/coils and check. Car Ran fine before a head swap, there has to be a connection not connected or blown fuse somewhere.

birdhead Oct 7, 2010 03:32 PM

I've checked the fuses again connectors I even changed plugs and coils to

prob some ground you missed or a little sensor.
or its just your car being mad at you that it will only be in full boost for maybe 2k rpm.

Is the check engine light on? can you scan it and just have the computer tell you what's wrong?

Do you have a test lead to hook up a timing light and check your ignition timing?

Are all your grounds hooked up?

Are you sure the oil pump pulley is not rotated 180 degrees?

gieri002 Oct 26, 2010 01:58 PM

Did it run before?
