Got it all straightened out friday afternoon. Thursday night, I took it for a test drive. I had let it idle for 45 miniuts, no changes. This was WAY more steam then you would normally see, even on a cold day. Water was spitting out the tailpipe. But I let it cool down, and the coolant level was perfect, so with no signs of any real problem, I gave it a test. At 5 psi, the engine would cut out and backfire, spit and sputter. Then it just died. Pushed it back in the driveway, and after it cooled I tried again, no start. So friday I start looking. Still not starting at all. Cam timing was fine, no codes, nothing. Go to check ignition timing, no signal from timing light. Check into it, no spark. Turned out to be a cap / rotor. Replaced that, started right up, with no problems at all. No more steam either. Wierd. It ran fine till I replaced the gasket. Must have gotten some dirt or grease in the cap when putting timing belt in after the gasket swap.
