headgasket complete: car wont run

[nando]

Nope, the icv opens and closes when I run it through my hands. Ive also thrown one on from another car. I dont think thats the issue...

edit: thanks guys...

it should buzz with the ignition on.

does the ICV buzz with the ignition on?

did you plug the crank sensor and inductive sensors into the wrong ends? they have similar plugs right next to each other that you can get in backwards and it won't run that way (no crank signal = no fuel or spark).

dont think so but its definatly on the check list.

Don't forget the little hidden port on the bottom side of the throttle body. (terminates in the charcoal canister)

Im pretty sure its good, but ill check it as well.

Bad vacuum leak. Make sure all of the hoses are connected.

You sure? you sound sure...

All switches, sensors, etc. are confirmed to be hooked up after the HG job? Just checking over the obvious...

[formula driver]

any other tips folks?

With the hood on it's kind of hard to see if the top marks line up. Double-check it, just to be sure. If you don't hear any nasty tapping you might be alright.

Im hoping to god ths is not the problem...

Im definatly checking the timing first...

Are you absolutely, positively sure that the t-belt didn't jump a tooth? Mine was tough starting & required a bit of throttle to keep running. I re-timed it, but the damage was already done (bent valve).

Im not 100 % sure, no. I guess thats something to check.
