One other thing I want to mention ... I want to stick on the fuel delivery being the issue, but I hope it wouldn't be something computer or security related. But the battery was disconnected for several days, so hopefully that would wipe out any potential problems with that, but I don't know enough about issues that would cause a car not to start even if there was proper timing, air, ignition and spark.
Crank no start 98 Celica
Hey folks. New here and hope to contribute in time, but for now I have questions .. I have a '98 Celica automatic transmission that I recently changed the head gasket on. Upon reassembling, I can't get it to start consistently. At times it would turn over, but now I can't even accomplish that.
I have spark at all four plugs when cranking. I believe the timing is dead-on with the cam/crank. I believe the plugs are good, and have no reason to believe they wound't be, though I didn't change them. So I guess that leaves fuel ...
What's my best way to ensure I'm getting proper fuel delivery? If it's not fuel, any other idea what it could be? I have a brand new battery in it, by the way.
Thanks for your guidance. Am hoping to get this so I can drive it up the carrier and make my way from NY to Fla. Otherwise I'll be pushing it up a car carrier!

Sorry. One other thing ... I have a 5sfe engine.
Use a mechanics stethoscope on the injectors when cranking. If operating correctly, you'll hear a tic.tic.tic.
May have to rent a fuel pressure tester to confirm flow.
