my kai blew the head. i had it resufaced and pressure tested. i have it reinstalled now. the valve timimg is set. i replaced all the gaskets and the cam position sensor. had to buy new battery. during clean up i wiped off the firing order. but the car will start. i have to pump the trottle as fast as i can while tirning the key for 30 to 60 seconds before it starts. the first time it started it sounded good except after idle when i accelerated the engine stalled a moment before increasing rpm. since then i put the belts, air filter and timing cover back on and now it will bearly start and when it does it sonds loaded down. if i take my foot off the gas pedal it dies. what should i do to fix this? also can you tell me what the firing order is on the coil

1-3-4-2 is the firing order and they go in succession 1-4 starting at the pulley. Check that and let me know what you find. Also, have you checked for vacuum leaks and has the check engine light come on?
