Won't start after VC gasket replacement
Alright so problem began driving to work on the highway. Cruising no boost, got into boost a little bit and the car starts sputtering almost like the tb was rapidly opening and closing. Get off the highway, stalls out. Long story short, won't even turn over now.
Checked plugs and there's oil in the number 3 and 2 wells. So I replaced the vc gasket and the 2 plugs with oil had busted seals but car still won't start. Seems like it's getting fuel gonna do a pressure test tomorrow. Where else should i be looking? Cam and crank sensors? I did throw a tps code awhile back could a dying tb cause a no start issue? Could the coil packs be bad from oil soak?

I was having problems before replacing the gasket. Just digging into it i found the oil in the plug wells which led me to replace the gasket hoping that would remedy the problem. But I'm still stuck with a no start issue. Could the 2 coil packs that got oil soaked be bad? Not sure if that would keep it from starting entirely.

Compression test is probably where I'm headed next. Haven't gotten a chance to work on it myself working 7 days a week. My buddy has been taking a look at it on his own time and said there was fuel in the spark plug wells from tryin to crank it so much so it should be getting fuel but unsure about spark. I'm leaning more and more towards it jumping time.
My buddy hooked up his scan tool using suretrack and it showed pretty much every circuit as a fault or open. Not sure what could of caused that but it showed it was cranking at 160 rpms, what should it normally be?
I'm getting stumped because timing chain and everything looked good when changing vc gasket. Can you tell if it has jumped time by looking at the colored links or does that only help when timing the car?
