@phunkyone Once timing goes, its almost as if the motor ceases up. and if you DO get it started. it sounds like its going to die,will die. or sounds so off with knock it sounds like its going to send a piston through the motor.

phunky, engine has no spark -- car doesn't start because valve cover is off and the spark plug wires have been removed.
