Ok....so yes i did search for this on google but not really finding out anything that i haven't already tried so no flaming.

ANYWAY, i swap the blown motor to my buddy's motor (both KADE) and while i was at it i swapped in the MT. This is my 2nd S13 so I know what i did the last time i did this, only it was KAE. I have Auto ECU, jumped the parking shit, and the thing where i can get the fucking key out (unless the battery is unplugged...maybe a different issue). So I finally get it finished sometime later, I start it and i had a few leaks in the intake that came with the car so i buy plugs and start the car up....the timing was WAY off. The dizzy was completely pegged in the counter clockwise position. It ran, just very rich and missed (also had open exhaust mani.) So today I hook up the y pipe, and exhaust all up and now it wont start, it'll just crank and crank and then after i let off the key it blows a puff (like late fire) and that's it. It smells like fuel so i guess it's getting fuel. Changed spark plugs, wires, and o2 sens. Still nothing. Also i removed the pipe for emissions that runs around back. Stuck a nickel in the EGR valve since i didn't have a plate neither wanted to spend $15 on one, and screwed the plug back in and welded the hole on the manifold and the y pipe. Then i connected all the hoses to each other to "cap" them and capped the egr nipple off on the actual egr valve itself.

So i didn't get a chance to check if i was getting spark but i turned the flywheel pulley to TDC and the marker is lined up with the second line (starting from the left to the right, and the rotor was set to the #1 spark plug, then i made sure with the valve cover off that the dizzy and cam gear lined up. They did, but still no starting, just cranking.

HELP!
