94 twin turbo stealth wont start

[Ok3skid1]

I just recently put my engine back together with the heads jrod (from Oklahoma)sold me. Only thing i did different when i put it back together was vac reduction. This was done following the wiki-how section of the forum.

I have fuel and fire for sure. She comes to life for about 5 seconds at about 300 rpm and just falls flat on her face. I can push the pedal in and everything, completely un-responsive.

When it falls flat on its face, it cough's out of the exhaust side.

I cant seem to find my issue... putting the motor back together was one thing but trouble shooting what i have going on is different for me. I have never heard a motor do this before.

Thx for any help

Recheck your mechanical timing first.

I was a tooth off on the front cam. The other 3 cams were perfect.

First reply lol. Now that its right and your flooding recheck for spark, if you have spark check compression. Two teeth on the crank may be enough to touch off some valves.

We did a compression check we are showing 150 lbs across the bored. i know were suppose to show 170 to 180 but the car has not ran in awhile...

She will start and idle up to about 2 grand and as she idles back down she coughs out and dies...

Now my mechanic said it was flooded... im going to assume when i was cranking it with it out of time like that. i was getting more gas then i could burn. So i am almost certain i am the one who caused the flooding...

Well the front cam is a exhaust cam, might explaint the coughing out the exhaust. Should still run though. I would suggest a perssure test on the intake, did you make sure the MAF is plugged in ? Also a compression test would be a good idea.

I have no had much time to really do anything but check what i have done. Everything is plugged in but the front o2 sensor.
Oklahoma just had there statewide meet so i had to leave my car for 2 days. Ill read up how to do compression testing and do it.

Why is the front O2 not connected, I believe it needs to be hooked up to run, not sure though maybe it would just run bad.

I dont even have all my exhaust hooked up but i was under the impression turbo cars dont need back preasure. Ill get that sensor hooked back up but i dont think it would keep it from starting.

Plug in the front o2.
