New rebuild won't start. Very weird problem

[Projectpat115]

I just got finished rebuilding a 95 GST. Rebuild the stock motor and reinstalled. I have rebuild about 5 dsms from a blown up motor and i have timed and worked on about 20. Anyways, the car now will not start. I have tried everything in the book. I have fuel and spark, i changed the crank sensor and cam sensor, i have 160 psi on all cylinders, i switched out the ecu with a known working one, i changed the coil packs and transistior and i have retimed the car about 10 times with no change. i took the entire timing side of the engine apart to ensure there wasnt anything missing or backwards. The engine wants to start but just kicks back as if the timing is off. I am stumped and have ran out of ideas to try. The kid i bought the car off of looks as though he might have been messing with the wiring harness around the fuel rail area. Some wires are taped with electrical tape as if he wasin there at one time. We were told the car ran fine prior to it blowing up from the kid running a 60trim with a stock motors and no supporting mods. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have tons of spare parts laying around so i can switch out just about any part.

Thanks
Pat

I dont know what year it is, but it may be as simple as your firing order between 2gb and 2ga ECUS's... Meaning he could have had dsmlink and kept the Eprom and threw in a 2Gb ecu and just not told you, know what I mean?

Make sure you know if you have a 95-96 7 bolt or a 97-99 7 bolt and then what year ECU you have. Goodluck

That was exactly the problem. The new ecu was out of a 97 gst and my car is a 95. Switched the 97 ecu with a new 95 ecu i found in garage and now it runs great. Thanks
