    When you did the head gasket did you have the heads milled/decked? Check the clearance between the pistons and valves? When you put you put the cam back in did you line up the marks... exactly? One tooth can cause even more problems Not running for one, the timing needs to be close or it will never start. The timing can be adjusted to a certin extent but if a tooth is off it can't be adjusted. Also check if you have the Wires on the correct plug. Firing order for that car is 1-3-2-4 the distributor rotates clockwise.

I have had the circuit board/panel replaced once on my he4. I had only 2 weeks left on the warranty and figured it should be OK once it was fixed. They wanted another $200 to renew the warranty!
