stupid suggestion but could it be the TPS(throttle position sensor)? just sumthing that cam to my mind.

 

Uh... i dont know if anyone suggested it, but your problem will most likely be a starter on its last legs. If you have a new battery, oil and everything, then the starter should spin the motor fine right? (nod your head) What is happening is the starter cannot spin the motor fast enough because the engine's compression creates a lot of resistance on the starter, and if its weak and on its last legs, itll lag. Believe me, this is not all that uncommon.

 

did you check the valves when you had the head off?
when your trying to start it does it turn normal(lopeing sound)
or is it constant turning(without lopeing sound)?

 

its not the valves, i took the head to a shop to get tested and everythings fine

when the weather gets better ill check out all the connections again

 

check timing def.. check fuel "pressure", air ,and the tps signal he might have somthing there cause if the ecu sees 5 volts of reference then the ecu thinks the tps is a wide open throttle and might cause the injectors to not fire... soo like you said check everything, i would also suggest ecu codes and see if u can hear the injectors firing..... PEACE

 

what is meant by timming could be 180 off and what is the proper way to fix it? I am having the same problem spark fuel it turns but will not start! Car has been dead for 2 weeks!

 

Have you checked fuses? I know when I installed my turbo in my RSX that I used to have, before I started it for the first time...the install manual said to pull some ignition or something similar fuse so that the engine would turn over sending oil in through the turbo before actually starting the car. Then it said to reinsert the fuse and start it up. I know this may be a shot in the dark, but shouldn't take but 5 minutes to check them
