more info on my '88 Carat 2.1 WBX

we bought it 2 years ago, not running. We have following done on the engine
:

- honed cylinders, new piston rings
- new AMC heads with upgraded valves
- new lifters
- new hoses all around
- fuel injectors cleaned and calibrated
- new clutch
- new radiator and rad. fan switch
- new water pump
- new thermostat
- new temp2 sensor
- new cat convertor and O2 sensor

so it's not the compression on the engine... it looks like when turning it
for the day something didn't wake up the next  the morning till the 1st
(hard) start up

thanks
