S14 SR20DET won't start

Hello everybody! Well i put my S14 SR20DET into my 95 240SX and it will crank but not kick over...any ideas as to where my problem might lie? Any help would be appriciated. I figure it probably is a fuel problem or ignition problem but don't know where to start. Thanks for you help!

check the crank angle sensor to make sure its plugged in all the way. something so small wont let it start. also, are you building oil pressure.

first check if your getting spark in your coilpacks when u crank the car over u can do that by trying the old screwdiver in the coilpack next to the valvecover trick then take out injectors and see if there is fuel or if u can smell fuel on them

make sure you have the CAS set right. You can do this by setting the engine to tdc on the compression stroke, which is the second timing mark from the left on the harmonic balancer, and you have to take off the valve cover and make sure the cam lobes for the #1 cylinder are facing AWAY from each other. Then, unbolt the CAS and pull it out. Make sure that the yellow dot on the CAS is aligned with the little groove. Then, stick the CAS back in, and it will automatically turn to 15 degrees BTDC when it goes in. That should set your timing pretty much right on.

would the cas being off adjustment cause it not to spark at all?

i have 2 ignitor chips here. they both have the same effect while trying to start the car. how can i check to see if the chip is getting power. Also can i get a code from the ECU on what the problem may be?

use a multimeter on the outlet of the ignitor chip and see if it is displacing voltage
