I recently had to rebuild my motor due to oil pump failure. While it was out i put a mild cam (with recomended lifters), k&n intake, shorty headers, msd coil and wires. My problem is if i let it sit over night it wont start in the morning. I have to go out at 4hr intervals to start it and let it warm up in order for me to get to work in the morning. I dont know where to start looking for the problem. I have mild automotive experience but lacking in diagnostic part. A scanner only picked up a o2 bank2 sensor2 falt. It will crank till the battery goes dead. After it wont start when i get out i smell raw gas. So it kinda smells like its flooding out. PLEASE HELP!!! Im loosing lots of sleep and spending tons in gas to get back and forth to work.

The original ECU was programmed for a the stock cam, intake and coil.
Verify the plugs are getting spark during the no start condition. Make sure the crank sensor is properly installed and gapped. Make sure the distributor was properly installed. Make sure the timing chain was properly installed and tensioned.
