Any other details than that? ECU? Ignition? Are all your connectors plugged in? Pull a sparkplug and see if it smells like gas... Give more details or no one will bother to help you since their guess is as good as yours. You cheater. haha

umm...i have a stock fpr....its at about 38 i believe according to my gauge...i have my p28 plugged in at 1st, but thoguht that might have been an issue so i switched over to my old p14.....there is spark...and theres is a smell of gas, but spark plugs were dry when i pulled them...im thinking it might be a timing issue....also the injectors are firing as they have pulse....

i need to see timing alignment makrs for this setup....i put the bottom crank gear to the lil arrow to the dot on the gear and the two cam gears with the arrows directly facing each other...tell me if i fucked up on that part, cuz everything else seems to be fine...

Someone else can back this up but the arrows on the cam gears should both be facing straight up. At least that is how a stock H23 is set up.

Use the timing marks on the flywheel. The white plus sign is what you want to line up with the notches on the cam gears.

The up arrows on the cam gears should be pointing up and the notches on the sides of the cam gears should be pointing at eachother while the flywheel is at TDC. It will probaby be harder to do with the H23 block and H22 head....

A Fidanza does have marks (mine does anyway), but they're just little notches on the engine side of the wheel. I put some colored paint on mine so I could actually see them.
