Finnaly put it all together and now the bastard won't start just like saw it my nightmares :) I pulled the engine to do the rear main seal + the front seal and the mounts and just a good cleanup that the engine really needed for all the oil that leaked out of it.. But I changed the head gasket also, broke a chain guide while i was doing it, but i double checked the timing when I put it together so I am pretty sure everything is right (I hope :) ) Now I cranked the engine with the DI disconnected for abot 15 seconds and the hooked that up also. One thing I noticed is that there was no OIL pressure light at any time even when i just turn on the ignition, it's like the bulb burned out ..? I looked on the block where I think the sensor is and the wire is on it so it is connected ??? And then the other thing I am thinking is that maybe I misconnected the injector wires because the 2nd and 3rd were not marked, 1 and 4 were. But shoudn't the car fire up since the firing order is 1-4-3-2 ??? I should note that there was weak firing a couple times while I was trying ti start it . Anyway it got dark so I had to quit till tomorrow. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks
