since you could pop start it maybe there is a short in the wiring somewhere.

When you crank the engine it draws the power and doesn't give your ignition system the power it needs.

Good luck

and not to be a dick but if you want help you need to take a little more time and care when asking for it. No one here HAS to help you and if they can't understand what you are saying they won't. I bet HAILERS can help you if you ask him nice.

Once again good luck!

yea i dont know cause it ran before i took the motor out... not good cause i blew a oil seal in the rotor, but i bet tomorrow if i take the time to just go over everything an see whats up... i can figure it out im hoping it something simple like the wiring...

ok so i think im getting closer... today i changed the battery an tryed to start it, it started twice an then died... but it sounded like it did when one of my injector plugs came off... i would give it gas right away an it would just die... but i took everything apart an started to back track i put my chacol canister back to the nipple... an made sure all my plugs on the injectors were on... one felt loose so i bent the prong a little to make it touch anget a beter connection... i tryed agian an it sounded closer to starting then battery died so im charging it now any ideas?

Are you saying you put a new battery in it, or even fully charged battery, because i know i can crank on mine ALOT before it will die. If so i would get a multimeter and start checking the electrical system closer.

Do you have another vehicle available that you could connect jumper wires to? If so, make sure the battery in the 7 is fully charged and then connect jumper wires to the other vehicles battery. Start the motor on the helper vehicle before trying to start the 7. This method lets you crank the engine a lot longer before the battery runs dead. But, you still don't want to overheat the starter.

Before you even start to start cranking the engine make sure its not flooded.

yea ill try that i know how to unflood it... so maybe if i get it all unflooded throw some mmo or atf in i can get it to start... but battery i took one outa another car i have an put it in... but yes i did crank over alot its just not wanting to compress on one side i think.... cause when i try to start it, it like start to firer then stops really fast then starts again if that makes any sence... like one side done have compresson ... the dude at the local shop said its going to be hard to start an seal will stick till i get it broke in.... beacuase i was using the old housings it has to break in to them
