I just got done putting my car back together, everything from the manifold down was off. Now the car wont start. I checked the plugs and theyre fine, checked the wires and theyre getting spark, pulled the fuel rail off and the injectors are spraying, flipped the switch for my alarm and thats not interfering. I'm lost! its probably something stupid too, but does anyone have any any suggestions?
 
You could try starting it by pushing it off. I had an old car that would not start with the key but I could push start it. A month later I found an after market security key that was mounted under the dash that had came out. Does it even act like it is trying to fire? If you are getting spark, fuel, and air it should at least fire up. Make sure your timing is correct.
 
Well if everything is as you mentioned,then the next step is to check your CAS and make sure it is aligned properly,sounds like it is 180 out,by what you have described.
 
Did you have the timing belt off? Did you check for spar at the plugs? There can be spark at the wires but not at the plugs. First thing I would do is check for spark at the plugs. By what you said it sounds like you just checked for it at the wires. Then I would make sure my timing marks are all lined up if you had the belt off. Then I would rotate the cam sensor 180* if you had that off. Then check for compression. Then report back. What exactly did you do to the car?
