pull the egi fuse, Take the trailing plug out on the front cylinder and turn the engine over... should hear phweesh phwwesh pweesh and be pretty loud.. if you get pweesh puh puh pweesh puh puh, or the pulses are not very loud.. bad seals... do the same with the rear rotor...
this is just a dwon a dirty compression check.

well the engine was just replaced not even 20.000 miles ago but about 9 moths ago the tires were slashed so the people just pulled it fron the driveway into the garage then shut it off before it could warm up it is an auto if that makes a differnce thanks

It helps get answers if you pick a good subject line. Something like "i need help" is absolutely useless. I have edited the subject line. Also, punctuation and sentences make your question more readable.

i had a problem like this too. mine was flooded out really bad what i did was pull the connector on the rear strut tower for the fuel pump and then cranked it over holding the pedal all the way down... im not sure if that was the safe way to do it but it started then i plugged it back in and it started right up i havent had any trouble since
