Question map sensor?

Could a broken map sensor cause it not to start when hot? Because recently i changed the heads and before that it ran fine and the only thing different are the heads and the map sensor got wedged under the upper intake and cracked the map sensor. I already have a new tfi module ,wires,coil,and cap so im stumped. any ideas would be great. Thanks

You need to find out if it's losing spark or fuel

OK, you've just contradicted yourself. So which is it.

Does it not start because it seems like the battery is going dead or does it crank ok just wont start? Mine had a bad starter/soleniod which made the car seem like it had a dead battery when it got hot if thats the problem your having....

the motor spins but wont CRANK(no combustion)there is both fuel and spark. the starter sounds fine and fast seems like it throws it self way out of time but it IS in time.
