Another Won't start post...

[Fint]

Ok, I just installed my SR, all wiring has been done according to Heavy Throttle, and what not. It seems as if it's not getting any spark, it has new plugs and I recently changed out the ignitor chip to a Q45 one to see if that would help but it still won't start. I have power everything, the egnine cranks over just fine, except no spark. I need help, any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Check ecu

What all should I check for? Ignition? Sorry I am a total wiring noob.

Check ecu

Um by checking the ecu he means see if its throwing any codes out. Now by throwing codes it not gonna actually throw anything just check the blinking light and look on here or google for a breakdown to tell what code that is.

Help! I'm running out of ideas as to why my SR won't start.

-engine Cranks over-timing is correct-swapped to Q45 ignitor chip-checked codes (55)-it gets fuel-it sounds like its trying to fire

My friend tried to see if it had spark, he held it up to the valve cover which is aluminum , and now my battery is dead. I'm thinking I should either recharge my battery and keep trying or swap in my other Q45 chip, what do you guys suggest?

recharge your battery, it is probably dead from trying to start it and troubleshooting.

Is the ground wire for the coil packs securely tightened? You can check to see if the coil packs are getting power via multimeter. Maybe the coil packs are bad. It could also be a matter of the CAS....check to see if that is getting proper voltage. You can check to see if your ignitor chip is defective too. If all those turn out to be good, then I would first check to see if you're throwing any codes on the ecu. If that's good, then pop the cover off of your ecu and closely examine to see if there are any tiny bubbles in the film/ corrosion/ etc. I actually had the same problem as you, and my problem was a bad ecu. I looked up the pages in the FSM for ya, here they are.

Coil Packs- EC 202

Ignitor Chip- EC 202

CAS- EC 201.

Hope that helped.

fint, i combined both of your "won't start" threads. there's no need to have repetative threads.

I also cleaned up the stupidity from both. Everyone please be more helpful in the future. I'm tired of seeing so many "hahaha! you noob! you can't search so here's a sarcastic picture!" posts.
