just replaced head gasket wont start!!!
so i just finished putting back together my 89 240 sohc and when i tried to start it everything just lost power and would not have any power again unless i disconnected the battery and reconnected it. everything comes on but everytime i try to start it i hear the starter click and no power. the battery is good all the fuses are good. there are two discrepencies though... near the starter there is a plug just sitting there i have no idea what it goes to and also in the fuse box where the ign coil/antiskid is totally missing there is no connector or plug just a hole is that a problem??? hmmmm please help

okay just got it started !!!!yay!!!! but if i just let it idle when it gets just below 1000rpm it slowly bogs down and dies. it does however run fine if i rev it and keep it above 1000 rpms anyone have any ideas

it was a loose connection from the battery. so i fixed that and now it starts. I was told by a buddy to clean out my idle air controller. he said that could be why its dyin on me so thats work for tomorrow

ok so now my car runs like ****!!! i hear a ticking from myhead cover, i adjusted the idle needle so it would idle at about 800-1000rpms. it still idles funny and dies sometimes. Also it is getting harder to start than the first time i started it. hmmm

Check for vacuum leaks also. That could be causing your bad idle. Or your MAF could be dirty.
Not sure about the starting thing. Your battery might be draining. ^ which means your alternator may be bad. Check into that.
