...ok enough of trying to get the last words in, plz
ok man, have you still not checked for vacuum leaks yet? those can make engines run really shitty, shoot some starter fluid on parts that mate together and see what you come up with. also try throwing a bit of MMO in the housings to help with compression, it might not solve your problem but it will help a bit none the less. other than that check all the basics 3 times over. i was stuck for 3 weeks trying to get my damn rebuild to run right and it was all just stupid fundamental stuff (timing, vac leaks, spark, tps, ect.) i'm sure you are mad frustrated right now, just keep it up and it will be all good.

I bought it new, I was wondering that my self when I was told that.
But I have some good news, I just got it to start. The shop put the ******* spark plugs on wrong. But it was running on only one rotor, and vibrating really bad. I got it up to 3000 rpm and after about 20 seconds it made a funny noise and died. Now it doesn't want to start again.

Damn, YOU need an english lesson. Unless you are speaking of a person from England, the correct spelling is "english". So HA to you to!
Back on topic, the thing that made mine not start was flooding. Install a quick fuel cutoff, and it should do the trick. Cut the fuel until it actually starts, then turn it on. Works every time. BTW ACE, chill...........smarty pants

Yeah it was flooded when I got it back. I am pretty sure that I have some wiring issues, just kinda hard trying to find out where all of them go. I am going to putt off the intake and check every last thing, and use up all of the new gaskets that I have to see if that won't help anything.
And I am sorry that my shitty writing sparked such a debate. I will try and fix it in future posts

I looked at the FSM, and some other pics of my car when I installed them, but I am going to take off the UIM just to make sure.
I have a few other questions. Why does the oil pan on this motor only have one hole for a sensor on it, and my old motor had two? Also what grounds to the little prong on the firewall by the vin?
