Hello fishnchips here new to the threads bought a 95 vert 5.0 as a project had a bad manifold from the previous owner snapping the thermostat bolts in the manifold I swapped it out for a new manifold and I’m getting crank but no start got it to idle at least once but it was very sloppy idle, I do want to add that I deleted the egr stuff on the car and the heat so the water pump line that goes to the coolant pipe on the intake manifold is no longer there other than not having spark or fuel pressure what can it be after having timed the car proper tdc ?
