So my car has been down since October, and over the winter, I replace some parts. The clutch, flywheel, slave, master (clutch), injector seals, BISS screw, non-cruise cable and shifter bushings. I pulled the wiring harness, too. I did that for fun. Lol!

Anyway, the car's back together and on the ground, but I just can't get it to fire. It has spark and fuel and plentiful compression. I didn't touch the motor at all. I have trouble-shot everything I can think of. I have DSMlink and uploaded my AMS tune as well.

My theory is the gas. My garage is pretty damp, and I think that the gas is very watered-down. I put some HEET and octane boost in there, but still no go.

Basically, does anyone else think it could be shitty, old, watery gas? I'm going to siphion the old stuff out tomorrow and replace it.

CAS is inverted, firing order swap is done, CAS is working, wiring harness is correct... I'm lost. This hasn't happend to me with this car before. I feel like a noob! :cry:

I have 40psi while it's trying to fire. I have an AFPR with a BM gauge. I feel like there's one small thing with the wiring harness that I did or didn't do. I've had my motor out so many times. This has never happened before. It was running when I put it away, too.
