sr20det swapped into 91 240sx, has a11 ecu, spins over but will not run, it just lugs and backfires through the intake, i have checked injector pulse with noid light and the coils are obviously firing, the cas i set correctly and the timing marks all line up what could be the problem, please help

The serial number on the ECU should say 23710-XXXXX. Were the fuel lines reversed?

CAS 180degs off, make sure no.1 cylinder is @ TDC then insert the CAS per fsm.

He speaks the truth, I did the same thing when I first swapped. CHeck your timing using the timing chain itself.
