I had the head gasket and timing belt replaced about a month ago. It gradually became harder and harder to start to where now it only starts with ether. I took it to a mechanic to have static and dynamic timing checked. IP timing was off and he corrected that but it still will not start without ether but once it is started it runs fine. He is going to run a compression test next. What else can be done to trouble shoot. I need to get this car running ASAP.
