So to start, i recently swapped an rb20 into my 89 s13. I did my research beforehand everything went smoothly getting it into the car blah blah blah. Engines in the car and i have some trouble getting it wired to the body harness but i figure it out, no big deal. The issue i run into however is it doesn't like to start. At first i suspect its just cold and my cams are probably not helping any. (i got some nice tomei 270 duration

1. i am 99% sure its not my injectors, if i crank for very long i can smell fuel very clearly
2. based on the lack of running right i figured it was my coils. found a couple not working so i got some used off craigslist and replaced them, lo and behold that doesn't solve it. So i checked my ignitor/ptu whatever you wanna call it and followed along with the fsm to the best of my ability. i didn't have continuity between ANY of the pins which doesn't make sense because i know for a fact at least 4 of my coils are working?
3. i took the CAS out and spun it by hand with the key on, i could hear the injectors clicking (double confirmation that those are OK) but i guess the coils are supposed to buzz? i didn't hear anything like that. 1 single time though i did get a small puff of something i heard through the intake while spinning the CAS, not sure what it was.
I'm beginning to get a little annoyed, i suspect the ignitor is bad whether i tested it correctly or not because my number 2 coil isn't firing at all as far as i can tell and i know this is a common problem. However i'm getting tired of pouring money into this thing with no change in its behavior. The part that confuses me the most is that i was able to drive it with no issues on 2 separate occasions (before the alternator swap) but now it wont start at all. I think its also worth noting that i've read a couple of times of RB's running on less than the 4 cylinders than i believe i am so why wont it start and just run like crap?? i'm having a difficult time trying to test coils/injectors simply because i can't see how they effect the idle.
I am running out of ideas and any help would be appreciated
