Well two weeks ago i finished my 5speed swap on my 93 coupe kade. It cranked right up several times after the swap, then i drove it down the street and went back to fix the jumping drive shaft, then i left again and was waiting to turn into a parking lot and it shut off on me and wouldnt start again after that. I got it back to my house and started checknig things, it will turn over but will not fire, its geting spark, fuel, air, got fuel in the tank, new spark plugs, timing is good, still nothing. So i hated to do this but i need the car soon so i called my local mechanic and i just talked to him and he cant get it to fire, he says all the grounds are good, crank angle is good, the spark plugs are geting fuel fouled and says it has low compression b/c of the fuel fouling, and dosnt realy know any thing els to check for me. Any body have any thing that will help?

lets see you have spark, you have gas, it should start right up. Did you do anything to the car while you were driving it? Maybe timing is off. Try to see if you did anything wrong with the spark plug wires, take them off, clean them and put them back on.

i didnt do any thing while driving, and i can put the plugs into the wires and grounded them and see spark on the plugs so i dont think its that.

test light/led in the injector connector? if it pulses while cranking you have inj signal.

get a spare connector, send 12v on one side and click ground on and off the other, if you are getting a clicking from the injectors, the injectors are working.

Rig up a $10 oil pressure guage with a t fitting on the feed line of the fuel line. Check the fuel pressure..... oh yeah... did you get the fuel lines swapped around?
