Ideas On car that will turn over but wont start.
I picked up a formula the other day.
Its getting fuel and has spark, when you turn it over it fires a little bit but wont star, and when you let off the key the engine actually turns over backwards (back fires a little).
Firing order looks correct, previous owner said he went through the valves (im going to redo this tmrw) and adjusted them.
looking for some ideas to try, or something else to look at.
If nothing comes up I think the next step is to pull the timing cover.

To give a little more insight on the possible issue, the car itself had problems with running like crap(general random missfire/backfire) once it got warmed up. The previous owner did not do much troubleshooting with the issue besides put new plug wires on the drivers side and tried resetting the valves. The issue got worse so the car would run bad if it was cold or warm and then eventually would not start at all. It is not throwing any codes.
