I did a six bolt swap on my 95 GST and now the car wont start. When I turn the key the starter spins the motor but it doesnt crank. The timing is correct, my coil pack is working and I have tried different firing orders. My injectors and fuel pump are working and the car has gas. The ECU is good I have tried my factory and my spare. The motor is good it started and ran fine when I took it out of my 1g.
Any ideas on why it wont start?
 
I adjusted the CAS a couple of times and the car wouldnt start but whenI took the CAS off the engine, but still plugged in, the car started. It starts fine now. Dont know why that worked but it did.

That's cause the CAS was 180* off. There is a mark on the CAS body that needs to line up with the Notch in the rotating part of the CAS when installing it.

In the original post you said the starter motor was spinning but NOT cranking the engine. If this is still a problem, I would look at the flywheel as others have mentioned.

You either have the wrong flywheel, or a flywheel missing teeth.
