Ok so I made a thread a couple weeks ago about my car not starting. I wound up having a hole in one of the valves. I ripped the head off got the valve fixed. I just got done putting the head in. I go to start the car and no luck.
The car is doing the same thing it did before I ripped the head off. It cranks good but then it slows down for a second and begins cranking fast again. I'm getting spark, I have fuel (I can smell the engine getting flooded), I didn't do a compression test. I did one before I ripped the head off and it was low because of the valve. It should be fine now. Any ideas guys?
Mods:
-k&n air filter
-arp headstuds (just installed)
-mitsu 4 layer metal hg (just installed)
-sbr clutch
-act 12lb flywheel
Forgot to mention this before anyone else says it. The timing belt is on correctly and everything lines up. Oh, also I changed the coolant temp sensor a couple days before I had these problems. It's not an oem sensor though. Could it possibly go bad like that?
