I posted a thread awhile back here - http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?117004-7M-GTE-no-start-has-spark-inj-op-fuel-pressure-CPS-amp-cam-timing-is-good..-WTH
Long story short, the problem was entirely related to the installation of the Toda Camshafts. On Toda Camshafts, there are only two dowel holes, unlike the three found on OEM camshafts.
In order to have the Toda cams installed correctly, make sure that you align the 12 o'clock zero position in the RIGHT side dowel hole on the intake cam, and the LEFT side dowel in the exhaust cam.
The car was not starting because the cam gears were both zeroed in the right side dowel holes, which meant the exhaust cam was ~30 degrees off and of course the ignition timing was off as well. It wasn't until we recently started working on the car again and went 'back to the basics' and compared the Toda cams to some OEM ones that the problem was discovered.
Also, the Toda exhaust cam's drive gear for the CPS wasn't quite clocked identically to an OEM one, I was able to get 10* BTDC but the CPS will be either on the high end or the low end of its adjustment range, unlike an OEM cam where it'll usually be very close to the middle of its adjustment range.
Hopefully that'll help prevent anyone else having a car deadlined for 6 months chasing ghosts when using Toda cams!
