Well I soaked it in ATF again over the weekend, took the upper intake off and poured it in the runners, I'm SURE it's full this time! So now this evening I'll test compression again, and try to start it again. Hoping this works.

dude that sux. mine just fugged up today...i should compression test it, etc., but i think that one rotor either has poor/no compression in some chambers or its locked up. i need a quick fix, as its my daily driver (and only car), so im going to spray some really quick acting carb cleaner in there and see if it will get me back home (it had to happen at a friend's house), and do ATF trick later or somethin...if that doesnt work, im screwed ............
