need some help, car turns over but wont start

[Stephan97GSX]

i have searched and dont know where to go anymore....

Ok i tested the fuel pump, it whines as if it is working
I tested the fuel line at the fuel rail, and it pumps gas
I pulled the spark plugs and they are dry and smell like fire
I tested the spark yet could not see spark (iridium plugs dont know if that makes a difference)
pulled timing belt cover off, the cam gears still line up at the top as if timing belt has not jumped

what should i test next?

car turns over and turns over, but does not start

here is what happened:

I drove 25 miles on the interstate at 75mph.... got off the exit stoppped at a traffic light waited then turned left, the person was driving really slow, so i dropped gear and took off around him, at this point the car spooled up and took off, then the car cut off... i tried to drop the clutch and nothing, i tried to start it and nothing.

so im at a loss, so anything will be a help....

It doesnt really matter what kind of plugs your running fire is fire you should be able to see it try a inline spark tester if still no fire check coil

 

[Stephan97GSX]

i figured so, i will test that next.... so if coil is good and still no fire whats next

Check your sensors, I had a truck that did what sounds to me to be the same thing. If you're not getting spark check your coil.
Hope I was of some help. Good luck.

Sensors would be a good guess but they would also throw off a check engine light.

yeah thats the funny thing.... i have no check engine light...... now i do after i unplugged the mass air to see if it would start (did this once on a friends when his mass air went bad and it worked)

well, i will check to make sure im not getting spark, but im almost 100% sure im not.... which means ill swap out coil pack to see if thats it

How funny mine is having this same problem.
Easier way to check spark is to unplug one cable and put a screwdriver in the boot to see if it makes spark, it works and you wont get zapped. Just lasy the cable with the screwdriver in and have a friend check for spark while you turn it over.
Also take off your injerctors alltogether with your fuel rail and see if they are all squirting gas !
You probably have a clogged injector, i just did this and say 2 of my injectors not spitting gas, or so it seemed to be that's what i saw before the small fireball since i forgot to d/c the coil pack .
One thing is getting fuel up to your fuel rail, but it might not be getting past the injectors so check that out.

I had this problem a while back. ended up being a bad crank angle sensor. there's a how to test in the haynes manual. just a thought
