Well... test for spark to confirm there's spark. If you are unsure if the fuel pump works, the easiest way to confirm is have a empty milk jug around and unclip the fuel line and stick it into the jug, have someone crank it for a second to see if fuel comes out.

My money is either the wiring and/or ignitor... but then again, S13 wiring is ultra easy to rewire so there shouldn't have been any issues there.

Also, make sure you redo the timming. Pull the CAS and perform the proper proceedure on resetting it.

Hey, you're in st.paul, so am I. If you need help. E-mail me.

no spark, check if it's a cas or ignitor issue.
