1. Low compression. Get the compression tested. If it is low, pump some engine oil into cylinders via the spark plug holes and crank engine for a few seconds without the spark plugs and retest.
2. Timing belt installation.
3. Ignition timing.
4. Firing order. Ensure plug wire are routed correctly.
5. Fuel problem. Check fuel pressure and ensure te injectors are pulsing.
6. Grounding circuit. Ensure the ground connection at thermostat housing is secure.
