I have just completed my swap, it a sr20det redtop in a 89 240sx fastback.
The wiring harness was sent out to almasi tuning which are pro's for the nissan harnesses. So the wiring is done correctly. All plugs & sensors are connected. And has been verified several times by and other people.

Now the car is just cranking, but doesnt catch. When i first was trying to start it did nothing moved the CAS around and then it started, lasted for like 10secs while me pushing on the gas and it then just died. And it didnt start again because i tried to play with the CAS. I have verified the ECU and it is giving me code 55 which is ok.
No the car is getting fuel, spark and compression.
The fuel lines are connected properlly, the spark plus are NGK v power and gapped at .032 I have seen fuel on the spark plugs if i pull them out.

So then i taught it was fir sure the timing is off. Started researching on the net for how to set the timing properlly. So far i have found and done the following to set the timing:
Pulled of the valve cover, turned the crank pulley to the second notch on from the left on the crank pulley, making sure that the lobes on the camshaft are pointing towards the shock towers and away from each other. And it was at TDC. Then pulled out the CAS and all that and ligned it up properlly put everything back togther and the car doesnt start, it cranks but doesnt catch.

anyone have any ideas what is going on.
