I got done helping a friend out with a CA18DET swap..

The wiring was done the same exact way we wire up SR20s..

If carb cleaner is sprayed into the engine it will start up.

Definatley getting spark..

I checked with a test light and the injectors are getting power and the other pin pulses ground once the car is cranked..

The chances of all 4 injectors being bad are slim.. i really doubt thats the case...

Fuel pump is turning on and the fuel lines are attached in the correct way..

anyone got any ideas on what this could be?!

Sounds like an issue with the fuel injectors. How much fuel pressure do you have going to your fuel rail?

Make sure you have fuel pressure.

seems i have enough fuel pressure.. the fuel sprays out like crazy if i take the feed line off..

other than that i have no means of checking the pressure:mepoke:
