by setting the timing at the head do you mean with the cam gear? and it sounds like it wants to start but doesnt crank all the way. I mean it doesnt sound like the battery is dead. I did connect my battery to the charger and it was at 0 charge after it reached 100% i connected the battery back up and it still didnt start. I also changed the plugs and still no start. I just dont think its getting any spark. When my battery was at 100% after I tried to start it twice after it shot back down to 0. I believe thats a sign of a bad battery right.

I know this might be a dumb question but would the valves have anything to do with it. I did adjust them to factory specs with a feeler gauge. and with the milling of the head could they have taken to much off.

The PCM won't operate the ignition coils if the cam timing is off.

It was the timing, that was why the car wouldn't start. I adjusted the timing and now the car starts but there is a new problem. It won't idle. I have to start the car with the gas and hold the gas so that the car won't stall out. any suggestions? My bud did a compression test and all cylinders are firing strong.
