SOURCE: I replaced the head gasket on my 97 Sunfire it doesn't start

If your timing is off you will have no power.check and make sure all timing mark's are correct.Some engine's are contact motor's,which mean's if your timing is off you could cause damage to valve's or piston's.Also you should do a compression test to be sure each cylinder has adequite pressure.Hope this help's.

your valve covers have nothing to do with the starting it must be something you unhooked to get it off

SOURCE: 1999 pontiac sunfire car ran hot and coolant

Take the spark plugs out all of them and then turn the engine like your trying to start it if you see water or antifreeze coming out of any of the plugs you busted a headgasket.

I suggest rechecking all your work, because if it started prior to the repair you may have missed something.

2000 pontiac sunfire replaced head gasket now it still wont start, it just backfires

It sounds like a timing issue. Make sure the cam shafts and timing belt are installed correctly. Hopefully you have not belt any valves while trying to start it. Good luck.

The water pump was replaced,thermostat replaced,car spews water from the overflow tube and emptys the water from the engine!

Probably either head gasket blown, or crack in head or block. Have you had the engine hot lately? Look for white smoke out of exhaust that will confirm head gasket or cracked block or head.

2000 pontiac grand am gt turns over won't start

without acually seeing the car its hard to say but it sounds like the fuel pump is weak gm cars and trucks are touchy about fuel pressure if your off from the spec by as little as 1 or 2 pounds it wont start. it may start off the starting fluid and run but not start on its own. also try taking off the fuel filter and blowing through it and see if its plugged up this is a common cause of fuel pump failure.

2002 sunfire won't start

Do a compression test. When you over heated it it may have blown a head gasket or cracked the head.
