Hey,

I have a pretty big issue here. My OBD2 S14 is not starting.

I just replaced the flywheel/clutch/pp and the car was running great on jackstands. Started right up and revs fine.

I changed the spark plugs and lowered the car, and then turned it on. Ran for a minute or so, then bogged down and died. Now it won't start again.

The starter turns over strong, so the battery is good.

I am getting ignition. The plug wire from cylinder 1 is able to jump a 5mm gap to the valve cover.

I can smell fuel after cranking for a while, so I know there's gas in the tank and the fuel pump is working. Taking the spark plugs out, they are wet with fuel, so I KNOW the fuel system is working.

My vacuum lines are all connected, and at the very very least, the FPR vacuum line is connected.

I compression tested the motor, and it's good, 155 across the board.

The engine was JUST running, there is no reason for the timing to be off, so that's fine too.

So...SparkFuelCompressionTimed...and it still doesn't start!!!!!

Any ideas guys? Please help. I've been dying to drive the car with the new flywheel and clutch. Been working on it after work for about a week and a half now. I need the car running as my daily driver, so please help. Thanks in advance.
