{Tech!!} Progress on The 'Rocco?



I need some opinions on what's going on with my car right now. It's
interesting, so if you're not already clicked off or deleting this
message... >=o)

So far, this is what we changed on my car, when it was still running.
Exhaust Manifold/downpipe, and O2 sensor. I cleaned out the engine bay
before we started putting everything back together, using degreaser and the
garden hose, and it cleaned up nice, I'd say.

Put it all back together, aaand the starter didn't even try to turn the
engine over. Cleaned the starter terminals, and then it was fine.

Crank, runs for a second or two, dies. Repeat process a couple dozen times
for the past week(give or take), out of stubborn-ness.

Changed the intake gasket, which was leaking, more 'n likely... way we found
out was flooding it out(not by choice), and gas leaking out a
tad(apparently).

Crank, run, die.

It'll stay running at WOT, but it's even starting to die then, no matter
what.

Dad wants to change the O2 sensor again, thinking maybe we got a dud.

I've heard Daun's opinion on this a bit, and though I trust him quite much,
I've got the itch to hear third, fourth opinions...
