okay so i just reinstalled the my ka back into my s13, but i have an issue, everythin was hooked up, all grounds checked, all vacuum lines correct, fuel and fuel pressure, compression and even spark. BUT IT WONT START. it'll crank over just fine, just wont fire. the timing is the same as it was when i pulled the engine out and it ran before it was pulled. and help would be apprieciated. (btw my iacv is bad, and i got rid of the egr during install)

Distributor been remove/replaced/etc? If so then timing is probably off 1 tooth or something.

no offense or anything, a buddy of mine had an sr that refused to start and his lines were crossed, simple step that could be overlooked

id suggest using the little markings on the crank as well to assist in finding TDC for the ignition cycle so your not off 180*

IACV wouldnt keep it from starting just idling, it would die right away unles you gave it gas, and the EGR is usless anyway

alright, timing....perfect, but i found out that my injectors have not been firing(pulled the rail and turned the key, nothing!) then i went back and pulled cyl# injector plug, and the red wire was on even with the key off (test light check). any idea's why it wont fire?

the fuel rail and injectors did sit out for about 8 months, so i know to get new o-rings

and the fuel flows from filter to FPR then through the rail, FPR maybe bad?
