No Combustion in Cylinder 1

[afireinside5976]

Hey guys I really need some help here I'm stumped. 5 days ago I pulled my head and swapped it for a head off my old car that was ported and polished (worked fine on it when it was pulled off) and I also put in some new cams and a cosmetic head gasket. I got everything back together and at first it was hard to start. So I finally got it started and from 1000-4000 rpms it just sounds rough. After that it clears itself out. The wide band shows the air fuel to be around 14.6 so it's not doing that from being rich or lean. So then I get a cel code. It comes up as no combustion in cylinder 1. I went over all the connnectors and I'm pretty sure everything is back in order seeing how this is about the 6th or 7th time I've pulled a head on one of these. So far I've swapped plug wires, plugs, mas. I also put a new tps on when I did the head swap. When the car is running I can pull the plug wire from cylinder 1 and it affects the car none at all, but when it do that to 2-4 it does. I pulled the plug and plug wire and the plug is getting spark. Plug 1 is dark and shitty looking while the other 3 look the way they are suppose to. I have no idea what is going on here. I did a compression test and all cylinders came up around 150-160. Does anybody have any ideas here?I'd really appreciate it, thanks.

my mods are just a greddy bov, afc 2 (which I tried unhooking to see if that was the problem and wasnt) 1g throttle body. hard piping, front mount and I believe thats it. I'm running 14 psi on the stock t25...95 eclipse gst

It's possible that for whatever reason your intake valves aren't opening. But personally I'd look into the fuel injector. Is it possible that you damaged it during the swap? Does it have a good, corrosion free connection?

Fuel, spark, and compression are the three items needed for combustion.

You've verified you have spark and compression. How about fuel? Crank it over a few times, and remove the spark plug. Is it gas soaked? Stick a rolled up paper towel down into the plug hole (Dont' drop it in) and see if you soak up any fuel with it.
