What's the idle like out of gear?

How's the car acting at idle? Is the idle rough and the car violently shaking, or is it steady? Did you check that the boost sensor hose was put back on? Do you have a boost gauge? If so what does the idle vacuum read? Need some more info to make a determination of the problem before we can fix it.

hope you don't have the same problem i did!

My car died on a cold day, and i figured i had jsut flooded the engine... pretty common. But it would never start, even after a month! After doing all the deflooding procedures, hose checks, plug/wire replacements i finally checked by compression... 0 on the rear rotor! Appears that the dense cold air leaned out my mixture and blew a seal! Now its waiting for a engine transplant.

Hope this is not your problem, but here's what i did in order:
1. check fuses, underhood electrical connectors
2. Deflooding procedure
3. Check for loose vacuum hoses
4. Check for spark at plug
5. check for fuel(see if plug tips are wet) after cranking.
6. go for the heart and check the compression

Theres a million other things you could check but at least heres a start.
