Long story short I wrecked my s14 and put my sr into my new s13. I Wired up the harness. Now its turns but itsnt kicking over. It is acting like the cas is not set. The thing is that I had the car running the best it ever has been when I wrecked it. I am getting fuel pressure. Spark (I will check again). It turns over but just doesnt want to start. I have voltage in all the places it should be. I grounded the s*** of the engine. All connections are good. Is it possible for the timing to get 180 out from the wreck? I hit a phone poll going like 25 roughly but it totalled from no front end supports but the engine is fine. Nothing broke it just cut my belts.

I cant anwser your question...but i would definatly check your thermostat and water pump for radiator pieces...this happened to my friend when he totalled his front end too and he swaped the motor and got a new rad but he kept the same hoses and it blew after his second drive cause of the old radiator fins broke off into the hoses and cloggged his thermostat.

Thats really odd, i dont believe its possible for that to happen to the timing just from a wreck. Check the wiring again i guess, maybe the injectors arent getting their proper signals. Even if you have fuel pressure in the rail it may not be getting past there.

Good luck.

Most likely a wiring issue if you had to rewire the harness.There is no way the timing would have jumped like that unless you pulled the cas out for some reason
