My new 2.0 won't start, Need help!! Options

[kkid]

Hi guys,

I spent last few weeks to prep on my newly acquired 2.0 and it's finally in the car! But she doesn't wanna wake up.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I know our Bay has been cold lately...but today is beautiful!!!

It turns over, has fuel pressure around 30psi when cranking(20psi soon after when the key turned off), static timing done after points gap adjusted, all the electrical connections checked I think, and what else???

Actually there're at least 2 concerns I can think of. When I got the motor, the dizzy rotor was pointing somewhere around#4 position when the TDC mark was showing in the round window. So I moved the gear in order for rotor to point #1 as I confirmed the valves were loose. But wondering if I did it correctly. I took the gas tank out as I installed stainless fuel lines. The tank was sitting in my garage for about a week or so then it developed some rust. So I cleaned inside with rust remover. But I might not have rinsed it well enough. New fuel filter still looks clean after uncountable numbers of attempt of starting the motor. New fuel sock is in the tank.




So I am stuck now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

What do you all think I screwed?

Thanks in advance,

Man .... I keep reading through this post and it still sounds like it is an ignition timing issue. I will soon be stabbing my distributor back in and I really hope that I dont have the hell that you have had !! I still think that if you pour fuel into the intake, you should have some kind of a reaction out of either the intake or the exhaust. It may be a backfire, but you should get some kind of reaction. If you dont get any reaction, then I would think that the timing is way out of whack. If it is crank/cam timing, then your compression would be off. If it is ignition timing, then your engine could be firing with the piston at the bottom of the stroke and you would get no reaction. I was doing some research for when I get ready for my engine, and I stumbled across this article. The second half had (in my opinion) more information for starting off than the first half. I hope it helps you out, and this problem is solved soon !!!!

Thanks for the link and advice. Will double check that as well.
You shouldn't have that kind of problems. I think I have a special case(engine). Never have a problem like this before.

Good luck on yours and Merry Christmas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wreath.gif) !
