I've been away from the forums for a little bit of time.

I got the engine to turn over and idle. A little oil in the spark plug holes and some starting fluid sprayed in the intake. It took a little bit of cranking but once it got started it idled just fine. It smoked like crazy, but it idled. I left him to put all the accessories on and give it back to his customer....but then I get a call a few days later and now it won't start again.

So far as I know the only thing he did was put the alternator, air pump, ps and ac, and clutch fan on. Oh and he tightened up the exhaust manifold bolts. He tried doing the oil and starter fluid again. I don't know how much oil he put in the spark plug holes.

I'm wondering a few things. Maybe all the smoke from burning off the oil and starter fluid clogged the cat? Other thing fouled plugs or just plain flooded from him putting too much oil in the housings?
