350 '93 Buick Roadmaster Won't Ignite After Changing Head Gaskets
I would think it is a timing issue, but I made sure it wasn't 180 degrees off, took the rocker covers off twice and turned the engine over three times, watched when the 1st cylinder's rockers didn't move coming up to TDC, loosened and re-tightened the rockers. All wires are connected afaik, and I quadruple checked the spark plug wires, even bought new ones. There is spark, I've seen it, but the spark was red not blue. It seems to be turning over quickly, my dad guessed it wasn't under compression because the rockers were too tight, but I loosened them. What could I be missing? I turn the distributor when it is on KPII and 1 out of 3 times the injectors squirt out some gas, but usually nothing happens. The Engine Coolant Temperature Switch is broken, it's bolted into the block, but as far as I know that only sets off a "Overheating" light, and isn't connected to the ECU. What should I try next?
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
