Should I buy this Cobalt

[SonicStatic]

Crank. Let the plugs spark and it will start to burn off. When its dry enough. Put the injectors in. Also pull the fuel pump fuse so it doesn't make a mess while Ur cranking it.

1st sensor is an intake manifold pressure sensor.

With the car on, does the gas pedal move the throttle plate? Is the throttle body plugged in?

I think the sensors I took pictures of are the original sensors and the car has junkyard sensors in it that the guy I bought the car from put in while trying to figure out the engine power reduced

Should work fine then. Pull the intake off the TB and try to start it. You don't have any tapping noises do you?

I can't get it to start again. I have a 7 second video of it running that i could send you or something

Host it on photobucket and post it here.

I'll pull it up when I get home.

I decide to pull the valve cover and there is a lot of slop in the chain and I cannot get any of the colored links to line up with the exhaust or intake marks

Could all this slop and the fact the the timing marks wont line up on the cams when i crank the car by hand be why it wont start?

Your timing chain tensioner is toast. You have to pull it, the crank pully, and the motor side cover, then you have to line up all the colored links on the cams and crank, then pop the tensioner back in. Really hope you don't have a full set of bent valves.
