I would guess(just a guess as I dont know anything about your situation) that you have an issue with ignition relay or maybe the switch under the clutch(god I can never remember its name) that is the safety switch under the clutch.if you have fuel, spark and air......... you should be running regardless of the timing atleast you should run. can you push start it? though I hate starter fluid what does that do? how is the fuel in the tank?(old or new) is your ECU good? is the maf wired properly? could you start at what you have gone over, so that we can take it from there? I mean there is a million and one possibilities....... is it stock trim? tunes? I suppose you could have a massive vac leak if it is trying to start and never does? or the maf isnt hooked up correctly maybe?

I'm disparate man, lol. maf is wired correctly. tried several different ecus that i know are good. fuel tank is fine, with clean 93 in it. havent tried starter fluid. it has a front mount, and 3" downpipe, 2.5" exhuast, stock turbo, and injectors, and everything else. ninja edit: it also cranks fine.

Although it cranks fine, does it have partial combustion, or nothing at all?

I know its basic, but check your grounds and all connectors to be sure they are clean, tight, and appropriately connected. I once picked a 90 supra turbo for 500 bucks with "electrical" problems. Turned out the MAF wires were slightly smashed and there was a ground loose, no other problems whatsoever.

I bet $500 that you're flooding the motor with fuel or you're not getting enough fuel.

If you have a spare set, I'd give it a shot. Check the resistor pack also.A word of advice, you can change injectors without removing the intake manifold. Takes about 2 hours doing it that way.

Any chance did you do a 5speed conversion? If so check you clutch neutral safety switch(if thats what you call it, basically the wires that connect to the auto shifter) in the cabin. Mine was giving me hell but once i plugged those up my car started turning on like normal.

Just because it exhibits spark and fuel doesn't mean it's supposed to run if other issues are hampering it. Spray starting fluid into a vaccum line leading into the intake or any hole that will get the fluid into the runners and then try and start it. If it cranks and runs for a second, you're either having fueling issues such as your fuel lines being crossed, etc, etc. If your ignition is weak (ie weak battery), the CA will not crank. And lastly, if the orange near the glove compartment is not connected or it's powered source is dead, it will not crank. Try those things and see how it goes. Dee
Who's selling their CA18 next  ?
Forged pistons are no insurance for ignorance  .
Spending money foolishly doesn't equate to a high hp car  .
Being cheap all the time equates to a waste of time 
And lastly, I'm not done; for I've only just begun, so stay tuned Dee

Hrrrmm... you need pages ef-ec 39-42 of the workshop manual...However if you already have it, it may be the euro version.. ignore base timing in this (if you have jdm ca18) as the jdm base timing is 10 +- 2

Ecu not plugged in all the way? Do you have an SAFC wired in? Have you tested your coil packs? My guess is timing.
