what ecu are you using? check coil connector for some current using voltage meter or light tester.hope that helps gl

make sure all your clips r plugged in the ecu den there r like 3 or 4 clips i had the same problem on one of my b13 projects i couldnt figure out y i wasnt getting spark and it took me 3 weeks to find out i forgot to plug something in check it out let us no whats up

iam using the ser sr20de ecu.but i also have the original ve ecu.i tryed both and still nothing.the car just cranks but just wont start.i tryed switching coils n still nothing it gets power but it just dont start.new *** plugs wires rotor and coil is installed.just dont know what it is.ecu work as i tried them on the se-r.

yeah all plugs are tightly connected.allclips on ecu are pluged in.when i tryed to start it with the ve ecu & harness it did the same thing.it cranks but no start.i tested the coil n *** to check for power n it gets power.but i dont get why my coil wont throw spark to the ***.

double check connector from the o2 sensor and coil they are the same 3 pin it happened to me before also check fuel lines are correct the one from the filter goes to the rail not the fpr & fuse box for busted fuses..

did you hook up the ignitor? its the little black box near the coil..

also double check your fuel lines an make sure you didnt mix them up.. and a better way to check for spark is to put a spare spark plug in one of the spark plug wires an hold the tip of the plug near some metal, then have someone crank the car over.. then if all that fails take a multimeter an start testing stuff

Fixed it.

Problem was timing was way off.. Also, the harness was cut. A wire from the distributor plug was not making contact.

All good now.

yeah.now the sunny finaly running thanks to raul that came tru to help me out.all it needs now is timing and then upgrade the ecu than tune with nitrous.

i had a similar encounter two weeks ago on a b13. will get spark, then it wouldn't.. rather than waisting time trouble shooting
i just replace the complete engine harness... problem solved..
if u need a second opinion let me know i can send someone to check it out
or maybe i can stop by..

everything is good. the piston #1 is all the way up and the rotor inside the dissy cap is on 3.thats not normal right.iam going to call your bro later on to see what 's up with my ve.i might need to do timing again.were going to try to fix it eather tomarrow or this weekend.
