I just finished another build and now no spark. I have fuel. But none of the plugs are firing. All fuses are good. I replaced the CAS and still nothing. The coil pack was good before the build(2 months ago). I'm not quite sure where else to go. It's not throwing any codes and link isn't showing anything.
Any input would be great
 
Check to see if you have power to the coils and the coil transistor. Its got to be something like that because you have fuel.
 
Ok so I replaced the transistor, coil pack, and CAS. My ECU is good, CEL goes out after 5 sec after key is turned to ON position. But Still nothing at all.
I have fuel in the fuel rail but I am unsure if the injectors are squirting fuel in as I crank. Wouldn't I eventually smell or see the built up fuel down in the cylinders through the spark plug holes?

I checked my wiring for the CAs since it's a 6 bolt and that is still all good.
I have no idea what to check for next
 
The CAS being 180 out will not keep it from running. It will just run rough.

The CAS controls fuel and spark. Pull the cas and rotate it by hand with ignition on.. You will hear the injectors click. Do this slowly to see if they are all 4 firing.

Was the car a 6 bolt before the swap or did you just convert it this build?

Also Have you checked the MFI/MPI Relay?
 
make sure the plug for the coil is pluged into the right plug. There are two triangle shaped plugs in the same area. I did that on my rebuild. Took me two days to find it.
 
I feel like a complete idiot. After hours of searching and swapping parts for known good parts I found my problem.
My CAS plug was switched with my AC plug!! :ohdamn:
Switched the plugs and she fired right up.
