So I just finished putting my ka back together from a bad head gasket and the car starts to turn over but there is no fire. Everything looks like it was before I took it apart so I can't figure out what it is. Please help.

Re: car wont start
Did you set the electrical and mechanical timing properly?
Criss cross the fuel lines?
Those are the most common issues after pulling the head.

Re: car wont start
Sounds like the timing is off. Or you missed a vacuum line somewhere.
Have you tried adjusting your distributor a little at a time to dial it in?
