hello everyone so my after relocating my intake my 97 240sx isn't not turning over and I have been busting my head for past weeks trying to figure it out. Any help will be awesome.

here's what i have, i checked spark(grounding a plug on valve cover) and fuel(after cranking engine over time had a small puddle in piston) leading me to believe its a timing issue due to distributor or something.

i think when i was relocating the maf i had to pull apart the distributor harness and i think i may have damaged part of the harness. In the pic is the capacitor/condenser, does anyone know if it matters if they are not taped together if it affects it's performance.

like i said any help would be appreciated thanks

if you think the dizzy is off, follow the guides on how to get it in the right position and then try again.
but if it worked before you moved the intake, chances are something went wrong in the rewiring process.
you probably have to retrace the wiring and inspect it.
start simple tho. see if the ecu throws any codes and go from there

ok so i aligned the distributor by following the fsm and still same, i don't have any codes because i removed the battery to be fully charged, and i also noticed i have a weak(orange) spark

i followed the fsm troubleshooting and found 14k ohms between terminal 8 and E (pg ec-246)
and i should have approx. 20k ohms, could this be the reason for a weak spark?

btw between terminal 7 and 8 is was dead on were is was supposed to be a 1 ohm
