[QUOTE="YUNG VEEZU, post: 1427820, member: 11262"] I am back!!! Sorry no pictures yet, I wanted to update you guys ASAP. My buddy and I were able to put almost everything together. I had to jack the motor up again in order to get the last AC compressor bolt in, and connect one of the negative cables from the motor to the body. We reconnected all electrical connectors, and vacuum lines. Then we put the IMRC on, then the intake manifold on, all with new gaskets. 2 of the stupid upper intake manifold bolts broke . My fault, I tightened them way too tight. We put the throttle body on, cold air intake, installed the belt, radiator and hoses and spark plugs. Filled her up with oil, coolant, and transmission fluid. BUT now she won't start. She will crank, thats about it. We took a few hours trouble shooting: -we checked all spark plugs, everything is good -starter is hooked up correctly -battery is good -there is fuel pressure -we cleaned the MAF -my friend says he thinks the timing is off, but I left everything the way it was before I tore it down (just a note, the stock alarm is still on the car, plus my aftermarket alarm. Not sure if that would affect anything) Besides that, a flat tire and a few webs, she should be running soon! any ideas? [/QUOTE]
