Thanks man!! I plan to have the video camera right there for my first startup attempt. Hopefully all goes well.
Worked on the car allll weekend with the help of emp and brian... Got alot done, and got it to crank. Problem is the alarm system that was installed in the car... seems to be keeping it from powering the fuel pump and spark. Ripped out the old system, but now i have the nightmare of figuring out how to restore the stock wiring.
I'll be printing out some wiring diagrams in school today and pulling some stuff from my old car to try and get it started up. I took some video of the car and the failed attempts. When i get the car running i plan to edit a build tribute video if i have time. Stay tuned folks

Tried known working CPS... still no spark
Did you check the CPS plug? If not, check it very closely. Also I know it sounds dumb but its happened to me twice...Check all the fuses in your engine bay and all the important ones inside with a multimeter. They sometimes blowout not where they are supposed to.

yup checked the plug... even rewired the cps from the plug to the ecu and still no luck.
okay... its been forever... so now Its... RUNNING!!!! Turned out to be rabid chimps eternal shittyness mixing up the intake and exhaust cams therefore no cam gear on the exhaust side to turn the cps... I should have all the body parts together in the next couple weeks, then i just have to get 2 new front tires which isnt hard considering i work for tires plus.... then just have to get it registered insured and inspected.
in the words of ryan "wooooooooo!"
