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?
