So I just completed the auto to manual swap, well almost. When I try to start the car the engine cranks and you can smell fuel but it just wont start. Any suggestions or links to a helpful thread? Thanks

UPDATE: The injectors are not putting out any fuel and the spark plugs aren't getting any spark. Could this have to do with an aftermarket alarm system?

Did you make a jumper out of that one plug?

Yes I did and it is working. To test it i unwrapped it and tried and the starter did not turn over. Then when I jumped it back together it did. The whole engine cranks and smells like gas it just wont fire up.. Thank you for the reply I've been searching for so long

go to auto zone and get one of the pilot bearing pullers. took me about 5 minutes to get it out with it. i tried getting it out with a dremel but any other way other than the puller will be way to hard

Just FYI, I broke the slide tool I rented from Auto Zone when I tried to remove my pilot bushing. A cold chisel and a 3 lb hammer make quick work of it too.
