Car won't start, what sensors should i check?
I recently installed a rebuilt engine, but for some reason the car won't start unless I push start it (brand new starter). Even after it's push started it has a high idle and seems to lack power. Any idea what sensors I should check? Also someone messed with my variable resistor screw and my BAC valve screw. Is there a number of turns from the bottom that will set it to the stock setting?
I have a 10th AE w/ Rtek 1.7 with 720cc secondaries
Thanks

100 miles... the last owner took it out of the car cause there was a small electrical fire. I got it with the engine out and i have never been able to get it to start without pushing it.

I really don't want to take off the UIM again and I know they are all connected. If i can't find the problem else where i will try that. What about TPS? would that cause it to not start?
Thanks guys

It will turn over.. the starter works fine.. it just won't start. Once it a while it will start up no problem, but that's like once in a blue moon.

sounds like there is low compression... maybe the apex seals have not seated yet? sorry that is all i can offer you too look into as for advice... i had a friend of mines car that only could start by push starting when hot, and it was due to this issue- new motor, apex seals have not yet seated
