I have a 1996 Eagle Talon tsi awd. I bought it for a 1,000 with a crap load of parts. I ended up putting in a 7 bolt back in it. ( was going to do the 6 bolt swap) , I got it all together and tried to start it. All it would do is turn over. But no start. So I ended up getting a (CPS) and still wount't start. So we checked all the wires in the harness, nothing. Then changed the (cas) still wouldnt start. changed the coil,ignitor still no start.Tried to start with diff ecu , and nothing. So does any body have any ideas on what I should do?? Gets no spark, its getting fuel cause, you can hear the fuel pump. I'm lost , any help would be great thanks
 
Just because you hear the fuel pump priming doesn't mean your rail and injectors are working properly.

Check the timing belt, could be off a few degrees and making everything not work.

Make sure the battery has enough power to start the car.
 
If you were going to do the 6 bolt swap did u make sure you didn't mix the coil packs and recheck the order of the plug wires just in case.
 
We pulled one plug to check for spark and thier was none. I bought a new battery, and I charge it to make sure it fully charged. I have 3 coil packs the 1g is different than the 2g, soI dont use that one at all. But I have 2g coils, we checked the and the are 12.6 ohms on each coil.
