School is for people that don't want their car running. Check compression and show up tomorrow with results.

Also the intake is PUSHING air OUT isntead of pulling it in, dunno if that helps much.

take a valve cover off and use the rocker arms to find TDC, then double check it to see that the piston is at TDC

Well, as far as I can imagine, the only way it would be pushing air would be if the intake valve was open during the compression/exhaust stroke.

Double check timing...it will start with atleast 2 teeth off. Ive seen it happen, and then heard intake valves hit pistons.

I just cant see how it could be a mechanical issue, it jsut turns over to easy for anything to be off. those dots were lined up dead on

So did the kid that had his 2 teeth off. I would check for crank signal first before tearing back into it. Does the security light stay on?

When my friend did his H/C install his car did them same thing and it turned out his aftermarket pushrods were to long. if you have stock length pushrods on stock heads I vote crank position sensor.

If it's pushing air out... check to see if your car is in reverse... make sure the flux capacitor is turned on and reads 21.3 jigawatts... if that doesn't solve the problem then check the warp nacels and see if the jefferies tube is aligned properly to the thermal relay. Another possible problem could be the plasma coupling. If it's not properly fused the the dylithium reactor then all hell could break loose and the diocatylitc chamber could implode and collapse causing an end to man kind as we know it...

just food for thought
