So I recently rebuilt my ka and now i am having trouble getting it started. All my vacuum lines and grounds are connected. I am getting spark, fuel, and have compression. cranks to totally fine, ive messed around with the distributer, I finally got it to sound like it was about to start but no luck. Its a KA-T with a jim wolf tune. im about to lose it its driving me nuts, if i could get any help that would be great!! Thanks

You might have your fuel lines backward. I had same problem lol then figured it out

If you have all the above as you stated, the ecu could be fucked, or set to different settings like wrong injector size, wrong maf , or your timing is off.

timing is probably off, the best way to start a new motor is stock then once you get your base timing and your small issues out of the way you can throw the turbo stuff on so your not hunting down small issues.

That being said it took awhile to get my ka-t to start the first time i put it together. My issue was the timing was off a little bit and i fouled the plugs. Don't use nice platinum or iridium plugs when your first trying to get a motor running as well, you will foul them out quickly.

spark, fuel, compression, air and timing is all you need. Stop playing guessing games with the distributor! Set it right! Then move on.

I had the same problem with my ka and it ended up being the timing. If you have spark, fuel and compression then the motor should run in theroy. I'd put my money on the timing.

My rebuild KA-T was a hoe to get to start up to, my timing was 180 off and i ended up fouling plugs to.
check timing, check plugs.
make sure the orings on the injectors dont leak also, its very common.
