SR Sr20det cranks but won't start

i have a red top sr, was running a week ago but it wouldn't idle and now it wont start.
It has spark, fuel, rechecked the timing and good compression. I'm lost at what could be the problem, the top end was recently rebuilt (it was running until recently when it decided not to start anymore)

cranking and turning over are the same thing.
starter engages with the flywheel, physically rotating the flywheel, which turns the rotating assembly, "turning it over".

FIRING is something else entirely.

F.A.S.T.

Fuel

Air

Spark

Timing

check those 4 and report back. you have at least 1 missing.

wait. it was running, THEN you "rebuilt the top end", THEN it wouldn't start?

or

it was running, you rebuilt the top end, it was STILL running, THEN it wouldn't start?

Have you checked it with another CAS or TPS? I know you said they were good, but the fact it stopped running after you changed these two variables kinda points to one of the two.

to be more clear, it was still running after I put the new tps on and and fixed the cas, it was out of timing, then I went to try and fix my idling issue the next day and it stopped running
so is it the cas then?
