Hey guys I'm having some problems getting this car to start. Ive replaced the ECU and the igniter. I'm not getting a CEL,and I am getting 12v to the igniter. The car justs cranks and thats it, I can hear the exhaust pulsating and and I can smell fuel near the rail. Ive checked fuses in the main fuse box and they are all fine. My next plan is on the crank sensor and cam sensor, but Im looking for any other ideas any of you might have. Ive not had this car started ever in my position for I bought it non running.

UPDATES:
**Pulled spark plug and grounded to metal pipe and did not get any spark**
**Crank sensor is within spec of resistance**

Crank sensor and cam sensor are a good place to look.

If the two cam sensors are backwards, no start. If the crank sensor is unplugged or not working, no start.

Happened to me before in both situations. Reversing the cam sensors and the crank sensor not working.

No its not, Ive tried quite a bit without having to burn up the starter
