Car wont start. When I try to turn the key, it sounds like it wants to start but doesn't. I tried to start it three times and on the third time it did the same thing but I held it a little longer and a slight bubbling sound could be heard.
I can hear the fuel pump engage with I turn the key.
Does the fuel system need to build up pressure? I dont want to keep trying to start it and damage something. Their's new spark plugs (Champion rc12lyc or something like that). No check engine codes when I turn the key to the 'on' position.
When I first tried to start the car, it was in Rev. which I didnt realize. Dont know any other details to give. Its been raining alot where I am lately, not sure if that had anything to do with it as car has been sitting outside (covered) because garage is being updated.
Should I cont. to try and start it? Car oil and coolant in it and fuel (at least the meter says so but its a very small amount).

I use stock plugs and they work great. My car has heads, cam, 11.5:1cr exhaust and an AEM.
I am sorry. I just started from an ol thread of mine. The issue is the car wont start per my previous post

Just spoke with chuck and its probably the fuel system needs to build pressure (I hope) which I will check in a few.

What year?? Battery disconnected lately?? Try to jump it with a booster/charger recently??
01 and yes, had battery disconnected for about a month, (half of that with only the positive wire connected). Just did a Head/Cam on it.
chuck mentioned the Cam sensor could be damaged. I never removed the cam sensor from the timing chain cover and I DID use an adjustable timing chain (new chain, crank and cam spockets) but are identical to stock.
I have not tried to jumper start it.
