It sounds like you guys switched the Distributor plug with the O2, sensor plug. The car will seem like it has spark but wont start. If you do this, it will also fry your ECU and give u ignition codes.

If this was the case the injectors wouldnt click and the fuel pump wouldn't turn on when turning the dist. shaft. right?
No, the injectors will still click, and the fuel pump will still turn on
Honestly, I dont think we can be talking about the same thing.

1. The plugs aren't even the same [at least on my 94 SE-R, 91 G20 and 93 G20]
2. How could turning the dist shaft signal the ecu to turn on injectors and the fuel pump if it is plugged into the O2 sensor plug [even though it is impossible for me to plug the CAS into the O2 sensor plug. ]
So it turns out in the confusing of things I really slipped up and put the cams 180 degrees out. So next thing is a compression test. I hope to god I didn't mess up this motor.
Lesson to be learned:
1. Don't work on vital things when you are pissed off.
How did you put the cams in 180* off? Don't the dowel pins only allow you to put them in one way? Or did you completely flip the entire cam gear and cam????

You said you put the cams on 180degrees off. I guess I'm not sure what else you're looking for?
That is already resolved

Long story short... the chain slipped off the sprocket and the mtoor got set to BDC and I lined everything up, thus 180out.
I was fighting with the [now ex] girlfriend and I buddy of mine was helping me. Last time I trust him.
I dont really care about any of that now, just trying to drive the thing.
What sucks it Im really limited to when I can work on it. We'll see....

To me, that's saying you found out what's wrong. Unless I missed a day at school or something.

Thats 90* off. TDC happens twice on each system, cam alignment once.
180* off is if you aligned the cams at the second TDC of Cyl #1. The timing would look right when you checked it, but the engine would have intake strokes and exhaust strokes all mixed up.

hey man. It's either your ignitor coil or ignitor chip. Has to be. My '92 wouldn't start for a while and I was ready to take it to the shop. A local dude gave me a hand. Took him ten minutes to get the car started. I had worked on it all weekend. You can't test it really. Just get another one and put it in. She'll fire up. The coil is right behind your distrib cap. I guess these go on our cars every once in a while with no warning. Good luck!

Ive swapped out both. The previous ignitor did meter wrong [As per FSM]. Ricer_X is coming over tomorrow to help me knock this thing out
