I put head gaskets on my wifes Intrepid this past weekend.Started it up and it ran like crap.Found out its only running on 3 cyl's.I have fire on cly's 3,4 & 5.I have no fire on cyl's 1,2 & 6 . I know from working on cars that usually cyls are paired with one another eg. 1&4,2&5,3&6. I need to get her car running tomorrow,if anybody can help me please post or pst a number I can call to figure this out,thanks in advance.

 

Got it figured out.Obviusly you have to lock and unlock the doors with the keyfob to reset the security system,did that now firing all 6 cyl's.Now my only problem is the wfe doesnt want to give back the 09 Cobalt rental that we've been using since Thursday.

 

Got the car to fire al 6 cyls,now I went to start it up and it sounded differnent like it was out of time,no compression,checked timing and it was off by 3 teeth on the crank,cams were still in time with each other.Car runs like crap!!!!!! Is there a possibility that when we tried to start with it out of time that the pistons/valves could have crashed and bent the valves? Anybody have a set of 98-04 3.2/3.5 heads laying around that are good eg. no bent valves/good seats,have valve seals if they need them.

 

Did a compression test this afternoon lowest reading was 155 psi to the highest (cyls 5 & 6) of 180 psi so im guessing I dont have any bent valves.Not sure what to do now.If anybody on here can help me please do.Can call me for all I care 304-480-9651 Robert
