Many of you have read on my Head Gasket repair and the associated headwork. Well as of thursday the car was running. It started right up after everything was bolted together. I was anticipating problems right away but I was very impressed with the mechanic. We took it for a couple of spins around the neighborhood and the valves quieted down. Everything looked to be running perfect except an exhaust leak on the drivers side because of a bad stud that would not tighten up. Friday I fire up the car to show a friend that it actually works after being w/o the car for a week. That afternoon we were taking it to a shop to have the one bolt backed out and replaced...completely finishing the work.
Heres the fun part. It does not start!
Less than 4 hours from when it ran at lunch my baby will crank and crank but not catch. We go on to test every cyl for spark...good to go. We check fuel, also good. We even back all the spark plugs out and leave them in the cyl's attached to the coils. We turn it over and all the cyl's fire popping the plugs and coils out of the system. We are thinking it is somethin electrical with the computer but all the fuses are good and the ECU is throwing no codes. I should note that I have a Bayou stage II that has worked excellent up to this point. We are preparing to have my baby towed to a shop to throw it on the computer and have the exhaust leak fixed.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what would cause the car to not start??? Help Please...my mechanic is completely stumped and everything is mechanically sound, timing, vaccuum lines, electical connections. Thanks Guys!
