Hey, I have a 2g GSX with a 6bolt. Well, I'm getting spark and fuel but for some reason the car wont start. Could anyone provide any information as to how to fix this? Thanks.
 
What year is your car...
Update your vehicle profile.

Did you swap the spark plug wires on the coil pack? Switch 1 and 3, 2 and 4 on the coil pack only.
 
Actually I'm about to buy it and I just want to make sure it's not a major problem. He said it ran before he swapped the intake manifold. So, I was also thinking it may be the CAS.
 
When you say spark and fuel, do you mean fuel pressure or do you mean you can actually hear the injectors pulsing? You can use a thin screwdriver and touch it to one of the injectors and the other end to your ear. Bearing mind of safety. IE loose clothes and such ;o) Listen at the screwdriver while someone cranks the engine over. You should hear a sharp metallic click. You can also isolate your source by cranking and having someone spray carb cleaner into the throttle body. If it tries to start the ignition is ok and the problem is definitely fuel If nothing happens then it's spark or really bad timing. Also, be mindful while cranking and spraying that if it backfires you can get your eyebrows rearranged. Be careful. If you don't hear the click, use a test light and check for 12 volts at the injectors with key on. If ok then hook light ot positive cable and probe ground side while cranking the engine. Light should flicker. If no flicker then it's a drive circuit problem.
