my guess would be you need a new tune? was this car tuned before you bent a rod or were you driving without a tune?

It takes three things for an engine to run: Fuel, spark, and air. Troubleshooting should start from each of those elements first.

yes the car was tuned before, i was thinking the same thing cause now it's running with low compression , i will call the guy which tuned the car before and i will ask . thanks

i already checked this 3 things,
first time the engine was flooded i change the glow plugs and checked the spark then towed the car and like i said its start but at low RPM

You didn't change the MAP sensor or injectors or anything like that did you?

timing was off from the tune or from the distributor?

Did it jump timing or did you install the belt wrong?
