No start. Got spark, got fuel, got everything except a running car.
Any ideas?
1. fuel pump turns on.
2. fuel makes it to filter
3. fuel makes it to fuel rail
4. plug wires make spark
5. new spark plugs
No start.

Re: No start. Got spark, got fuel, got everything except a running car.
three thing you need
1-fuel pressure
2-spark
3-compression ***
assuming the engine is properly timed all three need to be checked

Re: No start. Got spark, got fuel, got everything except a running car.
it cranks and cranks, i'm getting fuel and spark as far as the spark plug wires are concerned, i havent check the plugs yet (my ignition coil went out and i replaced it so my plugs have been sprayed with gas for a lil while by me trying to start it) uhh i'm low on gas so maybe i had muck in my tank and my injectors got clogged? i dunno how to tell. also how does a car fall out of correct timing?

Re: No start. Got spark, got fuel, got everything except a running car.
its probably flooded to hell and messed the plugs up. replace them and try again. 4 things u need for a running engine is,
1-Spark.
2-Fuel Presure
3-Timing
4-Compression
Good luck.

Check whether the timing belt slipped a tooth or two. This will be evident if the cam and crank are no longer perfectly synchronized at TDC1.
Is the spark bright white/bluish or weak orange in color at the plugs?

Re: No start. Got spark, got fuel, got everything except a running car.
try to do compression test see if you can hear air leaking from motor
did you build the motor or just had it built you could be losing compression through valves or even pistons
you could even have missed an important ground if you did a swap
more info

injectors are getting around 9v. if i spray starter fluid in air intake nothing happens either so maybe flooding screwed my spark plugs? if that's the situation would changing one plug and leaving the rest make some sort of difference in the noise it makes?

If the oil smells strongly of gasoline, drain the oil and refill with fresh. Otherwise, check the mechanical timing and, if fine, then check the compression.
