I started to clean up the intake while I had it off doing a water pump, timing belt and cPS replacement. Now it cranks but will not start, I have checked all the connections many times. It is getting spark, and when I take out the plugs the electrodes are wet with gas. It doesn’t back fire and I have checked the timing marks(dots on cam sprockets line up with marks and dot on crank sprocket lines up with its mark, timing mark on pulley is ~ +5) I have the ground strap attached to the intakes and the crossover is bolted down. What else should I check? Could the intake leaking air stop the car from trying to start(lack of vacuum?) I'm at a loss here any ideas?

Have you verified the wires are on the plugs in correct sequence? You can do a search to find correct firing order. Other than that if its getting both fuel and spark only thing i can think of would be a bad ground and/or a timing issue.

good luck

and make sure you plugged the CPS in after installation! lol

I got it I took the intake back apart and installed the new gaskets and she works. So it was either that or this time I have a better ground than the last time. Oh well as long as it is running now.
