Default Rebuilt 4.8 won't start
I just finished installing my rebuilt 4.8 turbo charged camaro. Had a 5.3 in it before that. Got everything that I can think of back together and tried to fire it up for the first time in a month and a half.

Engine will crank over but will not fire. What am I missing?

Are you getting fuel and spark? Double checked that all the sensors are plugged in?

I'm getting fuel. Can really smell it. Getting about 55 to 56 on fuel pressure while cranking.

Got a spark check tool? See if ur getting spark to the cylinders. Forgot to connect crank or cam sensor. I've forgot the crank sensor before. It's easy to forget about when the starter is on alredy

Check your ignition cool connection pins. Lately a few threads have popped up and there were bent pins as the root cause.
