Help me...Engine Problem...
Ok I painted my valve cover today cleaned it up and put it back on...I started the car it started fine, and then it just turned off...The gas guage was low so I figured it was out of gas..I got about 4 gallons and put it in and no budge...Now when I crank you can feel the engine moving but nothing...Whats going on here????

i'd say it's unrelated to your valve cover paint job,since the only thing you mess with would have been the plug wires.
have you figured out yet if it's spark or fuel you're missing?

New gaskets? Sealed back on correctly? Vacuum lines connected? thats pretty much everthing they haven't covered yet. Sry man hope you get it working.

Check your ignition coil. It's probably the culprit.
One other thing, sometimes when you coat a metal with paint, it doesn't ground properly. That MIGHT be the case.
