Hey guys.. just got my car put back together after a blown headgasket, and the damn thing wont start. I have tried everything, triple checked the timing and its correct, pulled the fuel rails - its getting fuel, pulled the plug wires - all are firing, changed the cpoil packs and control module, flipped and turned the CAS - changes nothing, 135psi compression in all 4 cylinders... everything, and it just wont start.
Well, it has started a couple times, but very choppy, backfiring, etc.. and will only stay started as long as you have the key turned over, as soon as you let go, it dies. but most of the time, it wont start, just turns over and over, backfires sometimes.
Only thing else i can thing of is that the CAS wires came apart, so i Wired it back up, but had to cut the connecting plug... where it bolted to the actual CAS, and the wires before and after the plug are different color. Coming into the plug, there is black, red, brown and white, coming into the CAS, there is black, red, brown and white. I hooked the black to black, red to red, brown to one brown and the other brown to the white. It didnt work out, so I switched the brown and white. Also, I didn't put the bolt back in... is that some type of ground??
any other suggestions??
