Ka24de engine will not turn over... I bought it from a friend of mines who couldnt get it started it started in 2years after he changed the cams. Somebody else set the timing factory standards we finally got it started but it was running like crap and losing power and kept shutting off but cut bak on... Then we notice that the cams were suppose to be opposite from each other so we switched them and set the timing and it wont start it cranks and it sounds like it wants to turn over but doesnt any solutions ???

Did you dial in the mechanical timing correctly? Sounds like your timing is all kinds of jacked up (mechanical and electrical).

Timing, good gas, fuel out the rail, spark and compression.
