Hard start or no start I can’t tell..

[DennisY]

So I finished replacing my OPG/CS and when I put everything back together the car starts for like a split second then just burbles down until it dies. I’ve tried starting it while it was jumped to another car. Checked vacuum lines and I get the same result. It’s also weird that it’s not throwing any CEL codes. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have a video but I can’t figure out how to post it here.

Your Timing is slightly off. its real easy to be off a key with these motors. Pull it apart and triple check it.

that’s the same exact video I watched throughout the whole process and made sure I was on point because I feared of having to do it all over again.. 12 o clock and 5 o clock and made sure the colored links are right on the money.

Disconnect the vct and try also make sure your cam sensors are plugged in. It will not throw a code for a lot of issues unless it runs for a while. But it sounds like one timing chain is right but you didn’t turn it a full turn before installing the second

this issue has been fixed. Car starts and idles good and runs good. It turns out to be a massive vacuum leak. Thanks
