I recently changed the head gasket on my ka24de. And now when I attempt to turn the car over and crank it it just turns over and shoots a fire ball out of the throttle body every now and then... If any one could assist me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like the timing is WAY off.

Pull the timing cover off and check it. Set the engine to TDC on #1 and see where the timing marks are.
