After head install i tried to start the car car started fine but then i turned it off and now it wont start again it keeps cranking nothing else. I replaced sparks and wires. Am starting the car with no alt no ps no water pump btw i think i messed up some vacumm lines on the tb. I cleaned the tb with some gas
 
make sure your still getting fire and fuel,do you here any strange sounds as you turn it over ?
 
No weird sounds at all just cranks. How do you recomend to test for spark or fuel??
 
pull a plug out and lay it on the side of the engine and see if it sparks while u turn it over,and on the fuel line on the upper intake there is a small plastic cap like a tire would have,take it off and push in the needle with a small screw driver,if it sprays out u have good pressure and if it just trickles your not getting fuel.

Ok i have spark l. I rrmoved the little cap that look like the tire air valve and pushed the pin amd i have no fuel.
 
wrong one,it will be on the metal fuel line.
 
Nope nothing on the fuel rail

hmm,you can always disconnect the fuel line and turn the key on,the pump will run 2 seconds and shut off,if you have fuel and spark either your timing is off or a problem in the valve train.
 
But if theres problem on the valve train would it start the first time woth no problem
 
yes,ive seen so many things working in a shop,lil stuff you never touched just happens to brake.

I removed one injector and i do have fuel. So next step would be to remove head again???
 
How do i install vacum lines on the throttle body??? I messed those up

pull the valve covers and have someone turn the engine over and make sure all the rocker arms are moving the same
 
no the car can run without it as long as the battery is charged
