The car was running fine no problems. We didn't use the car for one month then when I went to start, it run out of gas. After refueling it didn't start. Upon checking the spark plugs I saw lots of oil around them-Replaced head gasket, spak plugs and wires, new fuel filter. Now it starts when the engine is cold but if I push the gas it stalls. If a let it run without giving gas it will stall after a minute or two. It seems like it's not getting gas or chocke or enough spark?

I'm not a mechanic I'm just guessing!

A fuel pressure test will confirm or exclude the fuel delivery aspect.

MAke sure that all of your vacuum hoses are hooked back up and not leaking.

Did you have the head machined?
