I don't see how this topic is related to FI...

How do you know the car is only running on one calender? Did you pull plug wires or injectors? Normally with bent valves the car will be extremely loud or not run at all. Have you tried turning the crank with the plugs out? Stock ECU? Stock injectors? You need to give us more info.

Yeah, I'm guessing you have an electrical problem...

<U>What motor</U>??????

are you sure your wires are hooked up correctly?

is the motor timed?

Are you SURE it is timed?

Now; when it "Won't start" does the CEL ever go out?

i fixed the electrical problem, it was a faulty ground. the car is a b16 turbo. when i crank it over it just fires once each full rotation. then i feel the manifold and the only runner that is warm is the number three cylinder

how bad did it jump time?
if it was bad, a comp test and leak down are in order to check for bent valves.
