hi every1
this is my problem, i had a head issue where the valve spring broke. i took apart the head and sent it out to get it rebuild. i had mild port and polish done with +1MM valves and kiggly beehive. the car sat outside for about three months when the head was getting worked on. i got back the head and me and my mechanic put it back together and now the car would crank but no start. it is getting fuel, spark, and good compression and replaced the crank sensor and the cam angle sensor. had the battery on jumper cables while starting but still won t fire up. is there anything else that can be causing it not to start up?
please help any advice would do.
thanks

 

Is your timing right? Thats the first thing that comes to my mind

 

yes the timing is at tdc

 

Are all compression the same...I had problem with starting too and I had compression but still not timed right...I would double check timing from the trigger plate and cam, not from the lower timing cover marker...I heard that from the factory timing can be off...I read somewhere try -5 instead of TDC...let me try to find Trend for you

 

Double check the cam sensor(the gear attached on the end of cam) it can be install two way and one is wrong

 

Found it

Hope this helps...I hate jack asses that bash trends and tell things like" get professional help before you break something"

 

Nice gonna check everything out and I ll keep you posted. Thanks a lot for all the info

 

Any updates

 

Yea did the timing yesterday line everything up to the timing mark and still no go. I am so frustrated now. Still trying to figure out wat else it could be.

 

Have you tried flipping the cam angle sensor. Could have put back in wrong.

 

I am curious now...When you find out can you post...Just for my own knowledge

 

Any new news on your car?

 

If you getting fuel and spark and timing is right. You might want to check and see if you flooding it. I say this cause I did some work sane thing I had spark fuel everything was good. Come to ding out I was just pissing fuel and it would just flood and not start.

 

Same problem when I just go my 2.3 motor... Found out I put the crank trigger plate on backwards... Woops!

 

How did you do that...I think it only goes on one way
