basically, everything is hooked up properly.

All vaccuum lines are installed correctly. All electrical lines are legit.

igniter is working properly. Coilpacks are firing and grounded properly. spark plugs should be good, and gapped at .40.

Fuel pump is priming, and injectors are pulsing. (fuel sending line is shooting out gas)

battery is hooked up, and all chasis and motor grounds are good.

Fuel in the car.

I turn the key, and it cranks like it wants to start. It doesn't however.
No bogging just turns over and over.

I checked out the engine bay wiring harness, and everything is soldered correctly, and extended as they should be according to FRsport's write up, and a few other helpful websites.




Other than jumping to the next thing, which would be timing,

what would you guys reccommend checking out next?

check ignition timing. reset the CAS.

is the ECU throwing any codes?

u might have the Cam angle sensor off by 180 degrees. as mentioned above reset ur timing by removing it and turning the engine so it is top dead center. here is a link that walks you thru it. How To Set Crank Angle Sensor (CAS) Timing on the SR20DET Engine (http://www.frsport.com/How-To-Set-Crank-Angle-Sensor--CAS--Timing-on-the-SR20DET-Engine_t_25.html)

let us know what happens after you do this. if you need more help just PM me im in SF too.

your plugs should not be at .40 at all, i run mine .32 .30. and have you checked compretion? if you have fuel and spark and timing down. thats the missing piece of the equation
