I know i have fuel delivery, just to be sure i did do the starter fluid and nothing.
With spark, my coil is fine, replaced ICM with brand new one, cap and rotor are brand new, wires and a couple months old, plugs are about the same. I can test them again but i’m pretty sure its not spark.
Any ideas as to why my Tachometer bounces? Or why the main relay switches on in off making that clicking sound?

Yes, the seals under the crankshaft, in his video he refers to them as lower seals i think, either way the ones you replace when you have oil in your spark plug wells.

I noticed that the smoke that was coming out of my car is not coming out anymore, there is no smoke at all, just the normal smoke that comes out of the exhaust when its a little cold, could i have just got some oil on it when i took my valve cover off, also when i did, i sprayed some brake cleaner to get the spots i saw that were on the head cover. Could the smoke just be it burning all that off?

Also, when i removed my Valve cover, i left if off for quite a while and i was out in the street, could condensation have just gotten in? But there was still that weird milky oil on the inside of the valve cover when i took it off. Someone please tell me that its just condensation and i don’t have to replace my head gasket because it is blown..

Ok so i ran into a VERY SERIOUS problem now, the car was doing its usual not starting issue, i tried to see if i wasn’t getting any spark, so i put in new spark plugs. But i wanted to look under my valve cover and when i did, there is white oil on the inside of the valve cover, the oil on my dip stick is white now, and there was smoke coming from the header/alternator area, and A BUNCH coming out of the tail pipe. It smelled like something was burning. The car puttered on like usual and it ran fine, only thing was my radiator fan is no longer turning on. My battery randomly died on me while doing this and i noticed there is a big green circular connector going straight into the alternator that the previous owner did something to. The spot it clips onto is broken so it just sits in there but now my alternator is making weird noises. My dad thinks i might have cracked my head. But the car ran perfectly fine, to an extent, you can hear the alternator making noises and when you rev it goes back down and up and kind of makes a noise, i don’t know how to describe it. But i think something is seriously wrong now, any ideas?
ALSO, i was told my no starting could be tied into the remote starter that the previous owner had put into the car, there are some wires down under the dash that aren’t connected and the thing is just zip tied down there. Is this a possible cause of my no start??????[/quote]

I have recently looked at a sensor in my car and realized there is something wedged in the connector to it, i do not know the name of the sensor but here is the video that shows it, it cuts off because the video got corrupted when i downloaded it off my phone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvHZqlIDk3MOk but when i installed my new VSS, i noticed it worked PERFECTLY for about 30 seconds, then i hit a bump down by my gas station, and bam it started having trouble finding the speed, should i replace the gauge still or first go down to where it connects to the VSS, because i can see there is a VERY SHARP bend in the wire down there, could the wire have broken and the bare wires be touching causing it to short? Any idea?
