Engine cranks but won't start

[silver93sho]

Hey all, changed my timing belt, CPS, crank and cam seals...ran the car and she ran fine but she was leaking oil from the pan.(my fault, i tightened some loose bolts on the pan and it cracked the old seal) took her all back apart and replaced the oil pan seal. got her all back together and now it cranks but will not start. Did not have issues with the timing and the CPS was previously replaced and gapped correctly and worked fine. I have fuel flow and spark....note: she did sit the whole time, about 2 weeks without a battery in it. any ideas would be great. i do have the factory service manuals and have been through them. going to check the starting electrical check but still.

Did you plug in the cps?, dis? and, did you put the intake crossover bolts in? and, was the crank sensor gaped properly? These are all thing that will cause your problem. but, if your getting spark and fuel makes me think timing

If you have fuel and spark it should start.

CPS was gapped(it ran great before i took it apart to do the oil pan, crossover bolts are in and i have movement on the tach when it is cranking. all the grounds/bolts are in at the DIS

Your saying it "WAS" gapped before you took it apart. But, has it been regapped after you put it back to gather? I know stupid question but, I have seen some weird stuff

you have a good point oneqwicksho, i should have re-checked the cps gap again while i was putting it all back together, i will get into that come monday if i dont find anything else.

check all the grounds...theres always that one. lol

IMO it was running b4 this than something just got forgotten. Hope its something simple.

also check the firing order too. A common simple mistake

My 93 ATX car stoped running last week, while driving over Mt Hood, it would crank and it had fuel but would not start. after about 20 mins of messing with it, it did start and we made Portland, then it stalled 4 more times. What I did finaly find was the a the negative battery clamp was loose, bolt on it was tight, but would lift right off. Once fixed, it ran 200 miles back home and all week with out a problem.
