Okay I just got done installing a new head, and after buttoning everything up it wont start now. Just keeps cranking and cranking.

All connectors are plugged in (cas, crank angle sensor) and Im stumped. I have fuel presser. Known good coil pack and wires are on, good injectors. I smell fuel so I know injectors are firing ( that leaves CAS out right? Thought if cas was installed incorrectly injectors wouldnt fire)

If the CAS was installed 180 out would it not start like this? Wouldnt I get a check engine light? DSM link isnt showing any DTC's. Could there have been something I missed when bolting up the crank sensor?

Help me out fellas. I have pictures of the CAS if any one could tell at a glance if its 180 out.

Thanks
 
If you have spark and injectors are firing your CAS works. But it could be installed wrong. Double check the CAS for correct installation

Check the coolant temp sensor too, my car won't start without it plugged in
 
Well it started!!!

I didnt even do anything really. I just took off the CAS plate, and rotated the engine to TDC to check everything. I then rotated the engine like 10 times. I decided to just give it a shot to see if she would start and she started right up. Runs pretty darn smooth. Those cams really changed the idle.

I appreciate the help, even though I have no Idea what I did. Thanks guys.

Heres a pic of her as of today:
