Just finished replacing the head gasket. It just won't start.
Here is what I have tried so far, and the results:
-Re-did the procedure for installing the distributor.
-Took off distributor cap, set crank to top dead center, and verified distributor rotor is pointing in correct orientation (down and to the left).
-Checked for spark at #2 plug - got spark.
-Verified the fusible links are good, using the Emergency Troubleshooting Procedures (check Engine Light is on, turn signals work, and headlights work, so according to that the fusible links are all good).
-Verified fuel by jumping the #3 pin where the fuel relay plugs in to the positive terminal on the battery. You can hear fuel flows, and it comes out the fuel return line (I have subsequently reconnected the relay).
-Replaced spark plugs and wires.
Despite all of this, it just won't start.
