also i would love love love to see a picture of the distribut cap(i don't have one) or whatever it is on the exhaust side of the head right behind the thermostat housing, and fuel injector connectors, i coulda swore when i removed them it was (in order front to back) white, red, green, white, red, green, but now all thats plugged in is white and red, but there are 6 of them, im so lost

Hi!
After overhauling my cylinder head I got to the point of turning the key to start it-turned over nicely but no sign of it starting-tried several times and thought I had better have another look at all the connections , everything looked good ABOVE the manifold but there were a whole bunch of wires underneath that were NOT connected ( I forgot they were there !) to the manifold ( all EARTH WIRES! ) -connected them and car started.

All ground wires underneath are connected, I'm thinking it may not be getting fuel. What are the stock colors of the fuel injector connectors? I coulda swore I took off white green and red but the ones on it are just red and white. Its either that or clogged fuel lines, filter, or the injectors, its getting fuel up to the line on the block. Do the bolts in those have to point a certain way? I know they have holes in the bottom, I figure to let fuel pass through, could that be my problem? I don't recall seeing indicators for them to point to but I could be wrong.

Those bolts on your fuel rail are banjo fittings and they will let fuel pass no matter what direction the hole is facing so that isn't your problem... U said the timing was good, but are you 100% sure it is good? Did you set your timing with the #1 piston on TDC (Top Dead Center)? If you did, make sure you set it on the compression stroke and not the exhaust stroke. It sounds to me like you may have your timing set 180 degrees off. This would explain why your car turns over a couple times then stops. I hope I have helped you out.

The parts you are reffering to behind the thermostat housing on the exhaust side of the head is the cam position sensor. Did you time that correctly per TSRM?? like the last guy posted you could be 180* off. Put the crank at TDC as well as cam gears. pull out the cam position sensor take the cover off if you have one on and line up the marks. heres the TSRM link on how to do that.

yet another example of failure to "tag and bag". any time your doing major part replacement and you need to unhook several wires, label them with masking tape, and write what they are/where they came from, or # them on the sensor and wire 1, 2, 3 etc. etc.

this saves you the trouble of chasing down wires you may have missed. good luck with it tho..
