check to make sure the iac valve isplug in and the hose is connected to it. Also check to see if the idle switch is set on the tps.

Did you check power and a switching ground signal? Vac leak?

STOP TRYING TO START YOUR CAR IMMEDIATELY. Since you hear a loud noise take off your cam gear cover and double check your cam timing in relation to the 2 dots on the back cover when you are at Top Dead Center. Ill bet your off a tooth or 2

I hope its not....Looks like you might be pulling the head. If you do ill borrow your body until you finish building the engine.
