Icon3 H22a1 crank, but no start :(

H22 cranks but wont start. The engine is in time, has fuel, air, and spark but wont start. I have never had it running, got it in pieces and built it up.

Fuel and spark, but how is compression, you need all three for engine to run.

Have you confirmed valve timing?
Have you confirmed firing order?
Have you confirmed TDC and distributor rotor position?

Are you using an HEI spark tester when checking spark?
If not, you need to. 94

is there enough fuel pressure to help open the injectors and is the computer commanding the injectors to open

The engine is in time, weve just been just been pulling out the plug wires and seeing if they arc across to the exhaust mainfold, which they do. The firing order we have it in is 1-3-4-2. The spark plugs are wet after a crank, so i know werw getting sufficient fuel pressure. The compression is at about 160, and it helps that the adapter got stuck in the spark plug hole when doin the compression test -_-

You need an HEI spark tester to test the spark.

5 PSI of fuel pressure will get the plugs "wet", get a fuel pressure gauge and test the pressure at the rail.94
