its a 95 gst with a rebuilt 6 bolt stroker motor. its a been 4 years since this thing last ran. I wired in a cas that came off a running car, swithed the coil wires, changed the four wires in the ecu, i have fuel(pulled the whole fuel rail out and checked all injectors), I have spark to all four plugs, and its in time!!!!! I have a maf-t translator that is four years old and the lights come on and go when i turn the key forward..so im assuming it still works. I have taking the cas off and flipped it over and i even got another one and tried it and still no luck... sometimes it will act like its bout to then nothing. and a brand new fuel pump and filter... can someone help me out maybe im missing something,,
 
Won't crank or won't start? Check the starter to see if it's getting voltage. In either case get that gas out of there and put in fresh 93 or even higher octane if possible to burn off any deposits.
 
I would say add more fuel in the tank,I recently had a similar problem. My gauge read a little over 1/4 tank when it was not starting anymore. I added more gas then I was rocking.

Ok so you have fuel, spark, but it won't start. first thing I'd do ok is pull the CAS off but leave the sensor attached to it. now turn your key to the on position on the car but don't try to start it just to on where all your gauge lights come on. now go to the CAS and spin it over by hand you should hear your fuel pump turn on, you should see spark if you have a spark plug out, and while spinning that you should feel your injectors pulsing. If you do not see, feel, or hear anything the CAS Is bad. Now if you do, make sure all your sensors are plugged in. I know you probably have but just make sure make a clean sweep over it. If you still can't get it to start try a different MAF. All I can think of with fuel spark and the injectors working in theory the car should fire. But a sensor could be wrong
 
Correct me if I am wrong but you can not get an accurate compression test without the motor at operating temperature right?!?!? Also the only thing the TPS set wrong did to my car was not let it idle but it started atleast.

It will be enough to make sure your compression is over 75 which is what it needs to fire.
