Ok I cant get the beast to fire up. I am getting spark now. Compression is good. So it has to be fuel right. I was cranking for a while and nothing. Snelled the tail pipe and engine bay smelled NO gas at all. The fuel pump is cutting on I can hear it. Also I pulled off the line that sends in and fuel is present there! What can I do now to trouble shoot?

Have you taken off the fuel rail and check if the injectors are spraying. If they aren't then you don't have any fuel up to the injectors.

well i was gonna test to see if the plugs are getting power. I am pretty sure there is no fuel spraying, but there is fuel getting up there, I think!!!?!?!?!?!?!? I wanted to do some reading on possible problems while my hands are clean! I guess I will give it a try in a little bit!

your fuel lines are the correct way right?(feed and return) Alot of people have made this mistake before and don't catch it.

Replace the fuse. You can solder it back together if you want.. it works.

If I have this straight... the line that comes off the back (closest to firewall) where the FPR is at needs to be hooked up to the line going back to the tank (return line) and the line comming out of the fuel filter needs to go on the fuel rail line going to the front of the rail. (radiator side)

This is off the top of my head.. but I know on my ka24e the FPR is on the firewall side.

dizzy is good. I pulled the fuel rail off and cranked. The injectors didnt spray. But there was the smell of fuel and the bottom of the injectors were wet. What do injectors look like when spraying?
