You've got compression?

You haven't been playing with camshafts, and moved them?

You can hear the injectors working?

You've got the fuel lines on the right way round??

ALL the induction hoses are on?

i changed the timing belt over and it went back on fine, everything is ok.

im gettin a mate to do a compression test tommorow to narrow dow the possibilites, but i noticed on the ecu the light was flashing and when i went to crank it over the light goes out, im thinking the ecu is not getting power when im cranking the engine.

Yeah Nugget i pissed myself laughn when i first saw a mate with that can of that crap..

I am having exactly the same problem at the moment. My rb20det 180sx is cranking fine but won't fire. I'm thinking it could possibly be the ignitor pack or an ecu connection.

Don't keep my in suspence any longer please!!

[VLRB20DET]

ok sorry for a long wait, yeah the compression is ok, ive got spark to the plugs, injectors working, ecu working, fuel lines are ok and the bastard still wont start, the auto electrician it is at has no idea why it wont start, i think i will just take it to JPC in melb and get the pro's to fix it

As Blind_elk stated have you got the fuel lines on the right way? CAS might be miss aligned or stuffed. It's sounds like fuel or timing to me.

[blind_elk]

Is the fuel pump working while the engine is cranking - disconnect the fuel "in" line from the fuel rail and crank the engine (make sure you've got something to catch the fuel in).

Alternatively, set the ignition to "on" and then apply battery voltage to the starter solenoid terminal - that should simply crank the engine, and if everything else is OK, the engine should fire.
