it will crank but won't start... its not passing fuel nor spark.....
here are the things i did troubleshoot/replaced w/ known goods
spark plugs are ok as well as wires, battery is good too...
i replaced w/ a new ignitor, new coil, main relay, distributor, ecu, chkd all fuses, chkd ground... tried to get engine codes but it wouldnt give em to me.. the c.e.l will just stay lit....oh and i dont remember if the fuel pump was turnin on.. what i do know is that when i took the fuel line that runs to the fuel rail.. there was no fuel passing....
i didnt check if the ecu was getting power... i recently changed my intake manifold from an f22 to h23.. i have h23
diff. ppl have suggested an electrical problem...or fuel pump/filter.. i honestly dont know what else... i had to leave my car in austin cus i had to come back to htwn... it will be taken to the shop to get further diagnosed...
you should try cleaning, or even replacing your ignition coil where the 5th wire of the distributor goes...that sounds like u r not gettin spark, i m pretty positive thats it, try it out, and let us know, i ll try to think of something else in the mean time.
btw, do you have stock iginition system, or upgraded, like msd and such ?

Have some one else turn on the car while you lay under the gas tank and see if you can hear the fuel pump turn on. It almost sounds like your ecu isn't getting power, that would explain a lot of the symptons.
Did the car just not start one day or did you change something then it wouldn't start. Has replacing anything you listed changed the symptons at all?

you don't need to remove the valve cover, you can just remove the distributor cap, have someone try to start the car and see of the rotor turns. If it does, your belt is good, if not, I'm sorry
well after 5 long months of on and off troubleshooting and diags on this biatch ... she's running now... changed so many things.. listed above as well as fuel pump and a few sensors, the terminals and a battery and she's running now.. i have no idea wtf was up w/ her....but after all that she's running... never had a chance to take it to a shop so my friends and i just looked at her from time to time, and well now she's doing good.
maybe a Crank Positioning Sensor....hmm idk, get a volt meter and check the Fuel pump, but no spark idk, i had the same problem but it was a Bad ICM, i just went to a junk yard cuz i was poor at the time and got a newer dizzy.
