Are you sure you have good fuel pressure?

[SloSol]

no i have yet to check fuel pressure i can hear the pump kick on and it's coming out the regulator. and i had enough fuel that i saturated my spark plugs when i pulled them out so then i let the cylinders dry out and i reinstalled them and still wouldn't start. it sucks it's a clean car. it's gotta be something simple. it ran good til i parked it when i blew the turbo oil line.

You only need three things: spark, fuel, and compression..

so, you say you have spark - at the plugs, right?

you say you have fuel, but you NEED to know if the pressure is right.

compression is all that is left. If the cam timing jumped enough, it won't start.

Sounds like either low fuel pressure or timing issue. Double check your pulgs wires, cap & rotor. Makes sure you have the plug wires going to both the correct plugs and correct terminals on the cap. I have had them on the wrong terminals and either the cars won't start or run like crap.
If that is ok.....time to look at the timing. Make sure you didn't move the distributor when doing the tune up. Next would be to look at the timing belt and make sure the timing is good there.

ya i read the other day on alldata there is some TSB on timing when it's cold out it can somehow jump time from snow or water getting on the belt. i don't think that happen but i'm gonna check it tomorrow. i checked my compression and it wasn't so good. probally needs a head gasket. i just wanta sell it really. anyone interested..
