Alright, I have just had an S14 Kouki SR engine swapped into my 1995 240sx, and for the passed few days now, couldn't get it to start (only cranks). We checked everything, and the fuel pump is working, and there's power to the Crank angle sensor, and Ignitor etc. There's just no spark (cranked the engine and touched the spark plugs to the intake, 0 spark).

I just installed another CAS (since the one that came with my engine had physical damages on the casing), and unfortunately, that didn't do anything. And today, I tested out an ignitor off of an S13 SR20DET, and that didn't work.

My next thing to test is the ECU, it could be the reason for why my car isn't getting spark.

If anybody can help me out here, that would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

You have power to the coils?

Yea there's power to the coils. Today while testing the spark plugs again, I noticed that it is actually getting spark. So I hooked up a jumper cable to the negative of the battery, and the other end was put on the block. I cranked it, and it started up. But it dies after 3 seconds of idling.

Here's a video I took of it, we were giving it gas to idle longer.

I'm guessing it might be the timing. . . Seems like it's sooooo off.
