Ok so here it is, my timing belt came off about a month ago. so i put on a new head all new seals,oil pump,timing belt, tensioner, cam position sensor. And it trys to startup but never quite gets there. i love my car. And i would like to keep it but if it doesnt start soon my wife is gonna make my life hell if i dont get rid of it ### help.:dsm:
 
try twisting your Cam Angle Sensor my car didnt have it adjusted and it was horrible but once you get the sensor adjusted and still no start try timing it again and do a boost leak test
 
sweet will do, also i know this is gonna sound retarded. but i am a newb ,the head i put on there is from a 1991 gst and i have a 1990 gsx will that present any problems?
 
No, the heads should be the same. Are you sure you have the timing right?
 
ya i made sure the timing was perfect,wires were the first thing i checked.allthought i did forgetb to say that i plugged all of my vaccuum lines because i was told that they werent needed,
 
ok, so after playin with the cam position sensor it started. but its running like poop could it be vacuum lines ??? or???
 
Which vacuum lines did you plug. you can't just plug them all.
 
well i unplugged the smaller diameter hoses coming from the right side of the engine bay on the fire wall are those important
