It was working fine, then it wouldn't start. got it started and it run great cold and then started running bad like it wanted to back fire. there was gas in the oil so they replaced the intake gasket. wouldn't start. replaced the head gasket, still would not start. I need help ASAP, what do you guys think?

gas in the oil eh?
take the intake pipe off and have a look down the TB and see if the injector is leaking fuel all the time, the engine will flood, not start, and gas will eventually make its way past the rings and into the oil.
with that being said, the fuel driver in the ecu likes to go all the time as well, you may want to make sure your fuel pump is even running when your trying to start it....
BUT now that you took the head off to replace the head gasket, was the timing belt put back on right? was everything hooked back up?
its a big can of worms now to try and diagnose over the web. but we can try.....

it is actually not mine I am look to buy it. this is the story he gave me. your right it is hard to diagnose it even standing next to it. so your saying there could be something wrong with the computer? he replaced the fuel pump, but he never said it was working. He did say it would try to start, but it wouldn't fire. That makes me think it would be getting fuel, it sounds like it could be flooding,but what would of made it not start up before they massed with it?

If it is too good to be true....it usually is. I read ads all the time like "just needs head gasket, or needs new points" or some other easy fix. This is never the case. Assume the worst and let your price reflect replacing the engine.
Why was there water in the oil in the first place? Did it overheat? Warped head? Cracked block? How is compression? There is usually more to the story..and it can be a nightmare to pick up where someone left off- Ohh let me guess, because they "just dont have the time to fix it are they would do it themselves" right?

that's what I always do 99% of the time all these people are trying to sell, so there is never any major problems. he said he has put a new gasket set in the top end and can afford to put more money into it, but at the same time he is willing to do a straight across trade for something that needs work. He must have money if he can fix another car, right? plus his brother is a mechanic, so they probably know exactly what is wrong and it is not worth it to them to fix it.
