She's Finally Dead
yup.....the Alero is finally dead...went to start it today, and it pucks and farts like it want's to... but wont, took the surge tank cover off, and a billow of steam and pressure came out, asked my mom to crank it... and a shitload of bubbles and foam came out of the tank..so....it's finally done..... 
compression test will be done later today, to confirm this

how can we diagnose it w/o seeing it?
you've had roaming random problems due to your CONSTANT tearing it down, since you bought it. Rip it apart, replace it all, and do it the right way, ground up.
