Sounds like timing may be off. Recheck your procedure. Did you change the timing belt?
I would start by putting crankshaft to the zero point on scale-TDC on the compression stroke. Crankshaft will be at zero, TDC, twice; on the compression stroke and on the exhaust stroke. To find the compression stroke, pull the spark plug on number 1, with finger over hole, turn crank by socket until you feel pressure against your finger. Now turn the crank (clockwise) until it is at the zero mark-TDC of compression stroke. Pull off the distributor cap-rotor should be pointing at number 1 plug wire tower-Is it?
If good so far, look for inspection rubber plug to check camshaft timing mark on cam sprocket, OR pull the valve cover off and check the number 1 cylinder camshaft lobes that open the valves-both lobes, intake and exhaust, should be away from the valves. Valves should both be closed on number 1.
Post back with what you find. Good luck.
Testimonial: "thanks for the help when I did the timming and I set the markers on all 3 sprockets set to how it tells me in the Haynes book I put it all back together just as it was and cranked it over im not the most experienced at this type of issue so if the timming is off it will shoot gas out of thetop of the intake ?"
Well, not sure about that, not necessarily. But it sure sounds like the intake valve may be open when it should be closed-when the piston is rising on the compression stroke, both valves must be closed. I was thinking maybe the piston is shooting the gas out because the intake valve is open. Just a hypothesis. Is this throttle body injected? Might try this: if you can find a vacuum gauge, put it on a manifold vacuum tap, watch the gauge while you are cranking the engine over-at cranking speed, vacuum should rise to about 5 inches on the gauge. If no vacuum or negative vacuum, something is definitely wrong. Check with a local mechanic-there may be a better test to find your problem. I think you may need to revisit the timing belt.
