so i went and baught a few new fatter ground straps and that aslo has not helped. so there is a sensor that is on the passenger side of the engine just next to the thermostat houseing . is this the one that runs to the ecu and would it not start if it wasn't hookd up?. theres also one single small wire that is pluged into the block next to it what is this and do i neeed it (it is pluged in just verifying its need )..

Did you use a jumper wire to connect the underdash plugs. it probally wont change it if you dont jump those connections. the computer will automatically change the ignition timing. did you check to make sure the timing belt if not off some teeth?

what about the main relay? maybe the fuel pump primes but then nothing... just a thought

i was thinking that to but i just replaced it about a year ago. i do have fuel getting to the rail and my injectors are in the right order so im not thinking thats it. i actualy had some nice weather here so i pulled it out of the garage an found that my iacv and my evap purge control solenoid valve connnetors where crossed so hopefully that will help things a little but now im waiting to get my 1/4" ratchet back from a friend so i can rebuild my starter cause i over heated it and messed up my contact points .
