Default Needing help with no start

ok head gasket blew been replaced all good until i tried to start and ckp sensor threw code 0336 wires good grounds good replaced sensor and code went away.


Now the shop its at says its intermittent firing at best and will not crank

Shop says plugs are shot and needs new ones but im thinking he said also that the fuel pressure?? was supposed to be like 3 but its like 80 in two of the cylinders and two other cylinders arent moving as should be (he said they had low pressure).

Any ideas as to what is going on?

80 psi fuel pressure? Or cylinder compression? What modifications are done? Witch head gasket was replaced? Both? What plugs are you running?
From what I just read eather you are confused or the shop is trying to scam you for more money or they don't know what they are talking about. More decisive data is needed.
Was the battery checked, and the wires from/to it? How do you know the head gasket was bad? Were the plugs bad and the car ran like ****, so you took it to a shop and they SAID they replaced a"meaning 1" head gasket? Please give more accurate info

fuel pressure/vararam intake and tune/right side head gasket was leaking then blew/same plugs as when i got the car which was a month ago/yes battery is fine/because there was water/coolant in the oil and the head gasket was messed up when we took it off/we replaced the head gasket they said it was a good job replacing it.
