Anyone who gives me the winning suggestion will get a money order or credit on paypal for a reasonable amount. my car won't start...new coil new transistor, new wires, new NGK 6ES, new ecu...old ecu was toasted so...if u have questions just post them im at a loss...new pistons and rings with rods with great compression...timing is perfect...i have no idea...
 
Is your car cranking at all? If not pull the starter and get it tested. If the car is cranking check to see if you are getting a good ground from your battery terminal if so, clean up your battery terminals with some toothpaste solution to get a good spark there. other than that I can think of anything
 
you are saying that the engine turns, you get the spark, and wires are in the right place, and you get the fuel, and everything goes according to plan. but if you took your engine appart, check make sure your MAF is conected, and so on, like all the plugs and wires. check the plugs under your spark plug wires (when i unpluged my, my car didnt want to start).
what happend to your old ecu? may be there might be an answer?

hope it will start. (i hate when they dont)
 
Check the CAS to make sure its not 180 degrees out. Check it to make sure its working also...

One time my coolant temp sensor was unplugged and my car wouldnt start. Might wanna check that.

Do make sure that the ECU you got is a good one. Was it brand new or used?

What happens if you hold the throttle wide open and try it?

Unplug the MAS and try it. If it starts the MAS is bad.
 
Check your plug wire order on the coils. Maybe firing 180 degreees out.

Goes without saying but check for spark too.
 
done everything above all fine, 2g mas, CAS is fine ecu is absolutely mint with replaced caps but... i towed it after i posted this and pop started it and got it to run... like shit but it ran got it home and it idled perfect at 750...i only have the o2 housing on now so it sputters with no back pressure at all and my vacuum reads 9 or so but i gotta use a light and time it and get the cas set and i think it should be fine...if not ill be back oh btw...killed it after i popped it and it started right up again by key so...thanks...may be back.
