So I have a 96 eclipse with a 97 talon engine I boosted on 7 psi I blew the headgasket so I replaced it and I polished all internals when I did put it all back together timing is spot on but now I'm not getting any spark or fuel but I think you need spark to get fuel swapped coil wires spark plugs and the coil gets power when turning but it won't fire I took out the egr but I was told it wouldn't afect it I have a 12:1 fmu that was on before along with everything else.. somebody please help! And I also removed the vaccum box under the intake manifold such a large waste of space so I skipped the middle man
 
if you not getting spark or fuel first place i would check is you cam and crank sensor. make sure they are plugged in of course. I had the same problem a while back and it ended up being one of the wires to the cam sensor melted due to it lying on the egr pipe.

leave the plugs, coil and wires alone. if you not getting spark or fuel it is definitely and electrical problem.

the fuel pump on our cars does not turn on until it sees a signal from the cam sensor. if there is a problem with the sensor, the fuel pump is not going to come on and the pcm doesnt know to send spark.
 
Just checked the 2 and I can't see any bad wires and they are connected, and I ran a reader no codes nothing saying any issues, and the fuel pump kicks on when it tries to start fuel gets to the fuel rail and is under pressure I took the line off and before I got it all the way off it sprayed so I closed it back, just to throw this in there just in case I cranked the egnine 4 times when I timed it and it lined back up every time. Any advice would be helpful I'm at a loss at this point

Thanks for all the help crank senoser replaced and it lives thanks for the opinions
