okay guys so im truly stumped here. i have a 97 s14 w/ 1 redtop in it. along w/ FMIC, s15bb t28, z32maf, enthalpy etc.

So Friday i drive the car all around town all day no problems(like usual she's been running great) Saturday i pull apart my IC piping for some new clamps, get it all back together try to start and.........no

Car turns over, sounds exactly like when u pull the cas plug and crank it(to lube turbo etc) so im thinking no spark. well i take an extra coil pack and spark plug i have and hook it up to ctlinder 1/2 and ground plug, crank it both have spark(although it looks weak) so i assume coil packs are good (since why could all 4 go bad) ignitor is good and coils are getting signal.

Next i smell fuel in the bay and hear my walbro 255 in the trunk. so fuell is present i assume. ( even tried to start w/ fuel pump off incase of flood)

next i tried to start it w/ no maf, same shit. and then no coolant sensor (not sure if thats rele true but someone said try it) same shit.

today i went to try and start again and for a split second it sounded good like it was about to fire then nothing.....

anybody have any ideas experences?. it must be shitty wiring somewere (is my guess) but how the fuck can i trace that.

NOTE* this happened to me once before and then it just started couple days later, i want it fixed!!! from here i will pull a plug and check it for spark/how it looks i have no other ideas.

You have fuel and spark. How about air? IACV clean? Try starting it WOT.

BUT i unplugged my ignitor then plugged it back it? why dideven do that? and then it started!!!!

So wtf is up? bad ignitor going in/out? but i had spark the whole time!!!
