Replaced head gasket, had head work done, everything back together. Car will turn over fine just won't fire. Getting spark to plugs and fuel in tbi. I've tried the timing every which way but backwards! I poured fresh gas down tbi, starter fluid, nothing. It sounds like it's only firing one cylinder almost. |

Sounds to me like you may have followed a Haynes or Chiltons manual for the firing order (they are wrong) Double check your plug wire routing http://geometroforum.com/topic/4866796/1/ Good Luck! |

The only thing I did was replace 1 spark plug wire that was questionable. |
