S14 with Redtop:

Ok so my car has been running good yesterday and today, until after work today. It cranked right up gave it some acceleration to the pedal and it moved about 10 feet, sputtered, then died.cranked it back up. no problem, gave it gas. drove it onto my lift. was inching it forward with the gas and it stalled.cranked it, turns over but not starting.

then here is an update of what i did today...

here is an update of what i did.

Checked CAS by having the ignition ON and turing the CAS by hand. I wasn't getting spark. I swapped my CAS and now I'm getting spark. Spark looked a little weak though.

Checked continuity through Coilpack harness... all the wires checked out good.

Checked continuity through the MAIN harness from ecu to ignitor chip... good

Checked continuty through the other side of ignitor to the coilpack harness... good

Checked for constant 12v to ignitor with ignition in ON position... good.

power and ground to coilpacks good.

Maf connected...

Cas connected...

Some fuel in cylinder so injectors are working....

took a fuel sample... fuel good

checked compression... 150psi across the board...

swapped ecus... same problem...

fuel level says i have about 1/3 gas left... (will the s13 fuel pump give me fuel starvation? but its entering the cylinder so shouldn't it still idle?)

Checked timing... moved crank pulley to line up the 2nd mark starting from the left (when looking at it) to the peg. removed cas. lined up mating dimple to shaft mark. inserted cas and slightly aligned to yellow dimple. cranked and moved cas... still no catch...

ANY ideas?
