c,
car cranks but won't start. heres a list of the things I know are right
1. car is in time
2. firing order is correct
3. cas is in time
4. maft is set correctly
5. fuel pump works and sends to rail
6. manually turning the cas with key in ON position causes the injectors to open
7. getting spark during cranking


things i am not sure about,
1. which wire goes where on the ECT (or if it even matters being a resistor)
2. that all grounds are connected
3. that the cas is working (I think it is because it engages the injectors, not sure)


also, with the upper IC pipe removed and spraying starter fluid into the intake, the car will start and run off the starter fluid, but never under the injectors.

what else should i check? I assume grounds but I have been unable to find a ground diagram.

please help me, i need this car to run. willing to pay as much as a highschool kid on minimum wage can if someone will come over and do some voodoo magic on it LOL.
