Need a Help..!~

Ok I got everything done the other night... After cam rockers,pushrods and hooker lts

when I put the opti back on the first time I pulled it it wasnt keyed in..

When I tried starting it blew fireballs out of a unplugged vacume line and the Throttle body

I took everything back apart and Fixed it untill the opti slid right on

This Time When I go to start it turns over its getting gas.. And it Blows a fireball out of the passanger side header? and funny noise like your blowing on a glass bottle.. I think its the flame traveling back up the header..

Need help... Bad Timming ? Installed the Cam wrong? Crank sensor?

Double check your plug wires to see if they're in the right spots. If they are, then it's most likely your rockers. (too tight)

Don't know about a fireball but it will cause it to backfire, yes.

You don't have your intake elbow on, correct? That's the whistling you probably are hearing.

its after im done cranking the car over... (when the woof/whistle happens)

like Ill here a ignition of gas then its burning all the unburnt fuel down the header tube it sounds like..

At least its not blowing fire out of the Thottlebody anymore

(I didnt have the opti keyed in the first time)

Now I dont know whats going on

Id like to start the car today... Should I go get a new opti?

Would any vacuum lines cause something weird

Any sensors I could have missed? Crank sensor? anything?

Its so depressing Ive had this thing apart twice... I mean what now throw it away?
