did you ever remove the crank angle sensor? i know many people that have removed them and replaced them incorrectly experience the same thing you're describing ... then they take it out and put it back in and the car fires up in one shot. just a thought ....

Hi fellas got it figured out. Check the wiring under the dash now it runs but sputters and over heats...any ideas. I still need to do the timing and replace sensors. Also is there a proper way to ensure there is no air in the coolant system.







Thanks...
