If you have spark. fuel and compression..........This is what you need.

Next, see if the actual injectors are firing with a noid light on the connector. but I would check spark timing first. ---- Look to see if the dist. rotor points to the correct wire on the distributor with No. 1 at top dead center compression stroke. That's what I would do if this was my ride based on your description.

All I am saying is that the spark needs to happen at TDC. If the spark happens at exhaust stroke it will never run. Your wires may be on the distributor cap in the wrong place. It is a simple check that is quick and dirty. I am just trying to help based on your description..

If your have compression, then all is good. there. The fuel aspect needs pressure and the computer grounding the injectors. That's is what the noid light will tell you when cranking. Then you may have spark,but it needs to be at the right "time."

If everything is OK with all these aspects, then, I can't reasonably judge the ride without looking at it in person. Good luck to you.....FOR REAL!

after further inspection im not receiving any signal to my tachometer, should i run a jumper wire from the dizzy to the tach?
