i thought it was a bad timing chain setting but i pulled it and checked it, also rechecked the valves, b/c if there tight it wont want to start.

Did you check the cam gears/ crank / timing marks? If it is off a tooth it won't start. Did you do a valve adjustment?

wow.. you guys got all the symptoms down, could be anything that is listed.. it sounds like something electrical though. Just follow all the wires from the coil packs, and check fuses, and the ecu
