s13 red top
s14 chassis (obd1)

whats up guys. i finished all the basics tonight and figured i would fire her up to make sure all the wiring was right. First off, im trying to start it without a rad, and without an intercooler. i understand that i cant run it for any longs periods of time (only looking for 15 seconds) and that it will bog if i step on the gas. When i try to start the car, it turns over fine, but doesnt do much more then that. i dont get a chuga chuga, or any signs of it wanting to fire. pulled out a plug, tip was a little wet. i put a screw driver into the coil pack adn grounded it out on the frame, it arced. im assuming it is getting fuel since the plugs are wet. what else could it be. i was looking at the wiring directions that i used and it seems liek the only wires that would affect the starting would be the ignitor wires, which i will double check tom.

if i pull out an injector, do i have ot replace the seal? that is the only thing stopping me from taking out an injector... any suggestions would be helpful.

oh yeah, when i received the engine, the timing thing, im not srue what its called. the black thing that rotates is loose, so as i turned it over i had a buddy slowly miove it back and forth, didnt help. help.. lol..

The "black thingy", are you referring to the CAS? Make sure that's aligned properly!

#1 piston must be at TDC on its compression stroke, also your first 2 cam lobes should be pointing away from each other. Align the 2 mating marks on the cas then push it in.. you'll have to use a timing light and adjust the cas to about 15-17 degrees.
