plugs are firing well, i think it has to do with the injectors, i know that cyl #1 & #2 are plugged in correctly and i have switched 3 & 4 back and forth to no avail, compression is 210 all the way accross the board so i know its in time, this is really frustrating me, im so close yet so far

So pretty much everything I told you to help troubleshoot this last night just went in one ear and out the other??? If not, the car would be running right now.

Did you try ANY of the things I told you to troubleshoot? If not, try then post back.

i dont have a multimeter, and like i said i know that #1 and #2 are right its a matter of 3 and 4 and neither of them work in either spot, the cables dont stretch that far anyway, all of the plugs smell like gas so i know its not an injector

it starts... can anyone tell me what hose runs to the small vacume port on the firewall side of the TB... im sure its down in the wad of wires and hoses but i was thinking if i knew where the tube that is supposed to be there goes i can find it alot easier

If I'm understanding you correctly, pretty sure it's the EVAP solenoid port.

that would be it... so that runs up to the top of the tb?

can i just plug it or what... i cannot find its conterpart anywhere... its noticably smaller then the other ports and i cant find one of equal size anywhere... i was wondering if i should just put a cap on it, or would that affect the way the car runs.

it has a brand new timing belt but the belt seems a little loose... i tried tightening the tensioner but it seems like its as tight as it will go... any ideas?
