Hi Nate,
Dennis form Harrisburg here. I'm definitely not a trained ear. Would it crank normally with bad timing? Only after letting it sit, it "runs" for 1-2 seconds before cutting out and sounds "normal" for that small time period, then on;y cranks. I wouldn't have thought of a coolant temp sensor. Where is it and how do I test it? There is coolant in the radiator at least. I don't know how much is in the engine.
I'm sure I can figure out how to do the timing but I'm staring to run out of time. I normally work 12 hrs per day and the car is sitting in the collision shop's garage. They've been very patient so far.
By the way, check your PM re: the body parts. Thanks again

You may have a bad coolant temp sensor or something else going on. This may seem obvious answer but I have to ask, did you fill the car/engine back up with coolant? Just have to ask since I've had them not start at all only due to no coolant being in the system.
