Just like I told the OP in this thread, start with the injector connectors. They are commonly installed wrong. Make sure you have fresh fuel as well. I hope that helps.

I doubt it the fuel connectors didn't remove them pulled the whole bracket with all connectors on just took off an put on new engine it may be my coils the first time I tried starting with old coils/plugs no start changed plugs start up one time I also do have to repair the hose that goes from the oil metering nozzle to the intake hope it fixes the problem

Is your ess sensor clean and plugged in?

Are you getting any codes?

Do you have any pulley wobble (disconnect the drive belts crank the engine and have someone look at the main pulley).

Have you tried jump starting it?

Lastly if none of those work, have you tried beating on the car with a 5lb sledge?

I'll check if the ess needs to be clean shouldnt need jump start it cranks up every time.

If it don't work I'll take that 5lb sledge hammer to my head myself

I had the same problem I hooked up the injector wiring wrong now car runs fine also ck your oil injector vacume . After that with key on position step on the brake really fast for 20 times you will see the oil pressure gage go and comes down. Then start the car hope it helps

Fixed the problem was only my coolant temp sensor forgot to plug back. After that it ran great drove it about 100 some miles so far and runs good
