Default Still no start (need help)!!!

I posted in the tech forum, but got now views/help there.

ok, did some stereo work awhile back and the car hasn't run since. Have a new distributer, and there is spark, and there is fuel, timing is on point, tried a new ecu as well. The starter and engine spin, but it never fires. Need help, its almost turbo time and i need to know it runs first!

do you have fuel? assuming you have fuel, you may have, what we call at our dealership, cyl wash. does the engine turn over faster than usual. if it does put your gas pedal to the floor and crank the **** out of your starter - can take the upwards of 30 secs. the motor should try to soun like it is going to lite - if it does don't stop. it will usually start out on one or two cyls and build from there. we get a few "no starts" of this sort towed in every year.

Did you replace your coil? Could be that, easily.

If you don't hear the fuel pump kick on that's prolly your problem. (If you don't allready know it makes a sort of humming noise when you turn the car to the on position) If you were in the console working on the stereo it is possible you might have disturbed the sending wire for the pump. Also check to make sure that all of your fuses are still good.
