Recently did a timing chain job on my KA
Now that everythings back together when i try to start it, It just
keeps cranking.
It's getting spark i can see it, It's getting fuel I can smell it.
I think its the engine grounds that might be causing it when I
started disconnecting plugs and jacking the motor up and down
must've ripped off
which I found the one on the drivers side by the firewall came off
and the one by the thermostat housings at which leads to the
pack of wiring to the fuel rail.
I bolted them back in but it still just cranks..
Can anyone tell me the rest of the engine grounds that I
should look at..?

Thanks

hmmm distributor... does the cranking eventually die out? or is it consistant?

ok next would be to check if the starter wass plugged back in, check the alternator, and check the injectors/ spark plugs... ima ask a friend of mine about this as well

Starter was never taken out and only thing on alternator that was taken
off was the postivie terminal which I already put back on. Spark plugs
are good and injectors I don't think there is a problem with.. The car
was running fine before i did the job.. I only did a timing chain job because
the front covers were leaking.. and I was already there to replace it
along with the guides and tensioners. I really think its a ground problem
but I can't seem to find pictures or locations of every single one for a S14
chassis.
