so i finally fixed my starter issue. now when it turns it doesn't get spark or fuel. spark is probably my coil(junk yard special) but i dunno about the fuel. i have fuel pressure but my fuel rail is bone dry. what would i have to do to fix that? the injectors came with the engine and they look new. vacuum problem maybe?

Where are you testing fuel pressure and what was your fuel pressure? It is weird to not have fuel in your rail, basically, you must have a clog somewhere in your lines.

There are other issues for spark. Before you replace your coil, check for codes. Could be other issues such as crank position sensor.

i have no way to check for codes cuz i dont have a reader. as for fuel pressure its not really certain but i just squeezed the fuel line and it felt like there was fuel in it.btw where is a crank shaft position sensor?

mine too until i found out i cross the fuel lines. fuel comes out the pressure and into the filter back to the tank.
