holy crap that could be anything.

check codes of course.

first thing i would look at (aside from goofy things like plug wires in wrong order, something not plugged in, etc) is make sure the cps is aligned properly. it's real easy to align it wrong.

your timing is off.
make sure you crank and cam gear timing marks are line up.
and if you took the cam gears off make sure both the pins are in the middle holes on both the gear and the shaft itself.

i know you can use a paper clip to jump the thingy but do you know the exact pin to jump?

ahah i just search after i posted and found it...and as for the cps i put it back to the same position b4 i took it off(i marked it)

When you marked it, was the #1 piston at compression TDC?

No combustion meaning.... not 'trying to start' but turning over or 'its turning really fast and nothing is happening'
cranks a little faster than normal but nothing happens

i dont think it was...i wonder if i did my timing wrong, meaning #1 piston at TDC but on power stroke instead of intake stroke? would it even matter

i don't care how much you "marked" the cps position. Did you re-install it as per the TSRM specs? If not, re-adjust and get back to us if your problem persists.

22 = water temp sensor. either not plugged in correctly or the sensor is bad. wouldnt cause the car not to start.

24 = intake air temp sensor. you running the stock afm?

got it...code 24 was poping up b/c i unplugged the afm and the water temp sensor wires were corroded and i touch it and it fell off so i rewire it and now no codes but still no start...sounds like it wants to start but then goes back to crankin fast...well ima do a compression test tommarow n see who things goes...and ill redo the cps and the timing again for the 4th time:icon_mad:

Why would you even be trying to have us diagnose your car without having simple stuff like that fixed first?

I'm going to start giving half-assed answers as it seems most looking for support tend to half-ass their own work.
