Hey guys,

I apologize for adding another no-start thread to the forums, but I'm hoping to get some insight regarding my specific situation.

I recently installed a PTE SCM6152 turbo and a Walbro 255 HP fuel pump. I drove it about a week with the stock fuel pressure regulator (which I know is not recommended.)

Anyway, about two weeks ago I took it for a spin, and it had never driven better. However, I went out next morning to discover that the car wouldn't start. It is cranking, and sometimes acts like it wants to fire. I've since installed a Fuelab FPR and I'm definitely getting fuel pressure. I'm also getting spark to all four cylinders, and all of my timing marks are dead on. I have no check engine light, and there are no codes in the system. I've also pulled my ECU to check for any leaking caps or burn marks, but it looks practically brand new.

Ive also recently replaced my crank sensor, and was possibly thinking it could be a bad cam sensor, which I thought would trigger a CEL.

Sorry for such a long post, I just want to include everything. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks guys.
 
Have you verified that you have compression?

That actually was one of my next steps. Is it possible to lose compression that quickly? Because, like I said before, the night before it wouldn't start, it drove like a dream.
 
Also have you pulled the fuel rail and checked to make sure your injectors didn't clog up? Sounds simple but it's happened to 2 people i know and mine. Try clearing it out with carb cleaner and replacing your fuel filter.
