Think you're smart?

Okay, continuing this thread for the 9k'th time...
I don't have enough time to work on this and figure out wahts wrong... so here we go...
I motor swapped and put a ported motor in a car with no fuel computer... and now it wont start.
I checked my compression, lil low on one rotor, good on teh other. It gets gas and spark, and the timing is good, but it won't start. It floods before it can start or somethin... it sputters and acts like its gonna start... but it never does... waht do i do??

Pull your plugs, if they're wet, pretend that flooding is your only problem at this point, and perform the deflooding procedure of your choice...Inject some oil into the housings to help build compression...

might not be hoses. my buddy's was like that after we port matched the manifolds because he did a super half assed job cleaning off the old gaskets and i didn't catch it until later. massive vac leaks between the manifold and block.

Smokes from the engine bay???

Man, are your injectors seating down on the grommets correctly?

Did all of this start after you did something to the car?

I was at a gas station a while back, went in to get a pop, and when I come out, I run into a guy I know...so we start talking, and after about 10 minutes, he said "what the hell is that smell? It's a wierd gassy smell". I said, "oh that's my car"
