The car was running great as of August 20 or so... Since then the car was sitting and I put some fuel stablilizer in the tank and removed disoconnected the battery. I decided to mount an oil filter relocation kit and a sandwitch plate in order to install oil pressure and temperature sensors. I installed everything and checked all the fluids, and cranked the engine but did not fire at all. I had fuel proper pressure and no codes no blown fuses. The engine does not fire or it feels like the timming is off.
The only thing I did to the engine was installing the sensors. Could the spark plugs be fouled or bad gas? I have had the car sit for this long in the past during my turbo swap and it started just fine.

RazoE and 1J you are right. I will rule out the fuel since it has started before sitting this long. I will try to see if I have spark and let you know.

In that case your CPS is registering at least.

I worked on the car this weekend. The car cranked and backfired. But still no codes. I knew this symptom was from a Cps problem I had before. I disonnected the cps and got code 12. Reconnected it and it started . I guess the plug-socket connection must have been bad. I am so happy I got it running. Thanks alot guys.
