Sounds like a timing belt issue like it jumped timing...

You might have a bad cat.

Ok ill be sure to check the timing belt is on correctly. The previous owner cut off all the cats and resonator so can't be that. The pulley look perfect doesn't wobble at all no rust dusty marks in engine caparment but ill be sure to check and let you know thanks.

If I were you id change the wires too, prob not a main contributor to your problem but once they get oil soaked theyre never the same, Usually a misfire Good luck on figuring the rest out

hey thanks for all the help now im trying to fine some cheaper intake gaskets to put this thing back together lol.

Did the previous owner replace the MAF with a stock one, or an aftermarket one ? Is it a stock air filter or an oiled one ?

 

[shoftw]

um i believe stock but not sure and its a stock filter no k&n

Oil pressure sensor may be going bad; oil light flickered on mine at idel after warm, and went away after I replaced it; about $25 at the dealer and easy to replace; back side of engine block accessible from drivers side. Ticking noise could be belt tensioner. Did you replace the ECU yet ? I have a spare good one

 

[shobote]

Hmmm since it revs the first time after starting and then wont, it could be losing fuel pressure

 

[shoftw]

i did replace the ECU and it was from the junk yard so who knows lol also it could be the oil pressure i didn't even think of that. what would you want for that ECU so i could eliminate that?

 

[shobote]

sounds more like starving from lack of fuel pressure since it revs just one time after sitting but then won't after that; pressure can be checked at schrader valve.

ok thanks alot for the help
