Default LS Vtec Help!

I just finished my swap and I tried to start my car and it would just keep turning over and would never start. I started my car the other day and it turned over right away but now it won't start at all. Does anyone have any ideas?

Check for:
Fuel
Spark
Compression

Does the fuel pump prime?

Pull the wire off the plug and put it near a ground while a friend cranks it. See if it sparks.

Turn the motor over by hand and see if it feels like it has compression at all


Check that and report back

you need to start at the beginning. I could have came in here and said: YO CHECKZ YER FUEWL PUMPZZ IT HAPPENENENENED TO MY BOIZZZ COUZIN WHEN HE DID HIS SWAPZZ.

Unless you think you left something unhooked check for those 3 things first and see where you are at.

The motor started the other day so I know it will run, but I was thinking that it might be my disturbutor because its an LS on a civic si head and is held on by one bolt. So I was thinking that that my be my problem but I'll check everything and let you guys know. Thanks.

So I checked to see if there was spark and there was none, so do you have any ideas on what to do? Its kind of strange for there not to be any spark especially since the car started the day before.

Check your distributor
Check your grounds
