I have a newly rebuilt engine just put in my car 13b non turbo and it turns over great but wont start, they check a bunch of stuff and found a bad temp sensor and compresson was at 7 on the front and three on the rear and even better when i was trying to figure it out i found it they had poured about a quart of tranny fluid into th air breather right under the airfilter into the mass air flow sensor i really thought that might have been the issue but to no avail can any one suggest any thing before i have to buy another engine????

 

Check for fuel/spark, loose hose clamps, loose wires etc. After that try pull starting it.

 

ya thats abotu what i think that i'm down to i heard that they start really hard after a rebuilt but they start right up with a pull start

 

Change the sparkplugs, put some motor oil or atf into the lower sparkplug holes, and clean the airflow meter/intake tube/air filter box with a shitload of carb cleaner or brake cleaner before trying to start it. . Whoever poured ATF into the air filter box needs to stick to carburetors.

 

Fresh rebuilds can sometimes be a bitch to get started.
Try push starting it if all else fails?
