Puzzling problem - please read! Ok folks, its down to the bare wire itself. this is the ONLY thing keeping Envy from being on the road. EVERYTHING is complete other than this issue.
I have spark
I have fuel
I have compression as far as I know (doing a check tomorrow)
Battery is good
Starter is good
Fuses are all good
Scan Tool is showing NO codes
Scan Tool also says it has RPM while turning w/ the starter.
The car is NOT wanting to start. Its turning over freely with the starter, but its not firing up. It makes a pop sound every few attempts at starting it. What in the hell could be causing this?
All wires and harnesses are plugged in, plugs and wires are all good and connected properly.
Im beginning to wonder if possibly the cam sensor or crank sensor could be bad.
Please help, this has been a long time comming and this is stopping me from at last getting Envy back!

it could be your crank sensor. i had a 95 eclipse that i let a shop do a timeing belt and water pump on and the lowered the motor for more room and pulled one of the crank sensor wires out and they dident know it. the car stood at the shop for a month and they replaced the pcm and all the other sensors till they seen the wire was just pulled out. the car would turn over but not crank. hope this help's

If it is sparking then you probably don't have a cam / crank
sensor problem, at least not bad enough to prevent firing.
Crank position is only a fine-tuning.
I don't know what you've done to the motor but if it has
anything to do with big cam, you may need to give it some
pedal and not count on it catching normally as before. The
cranking mixture can end up way off.

Haha, wow. That would have been good to know in advance 
If you're sure all grounds are accounted for, I'm not sure what else it could be other than cam/crank sensor... unless your reluctor wheel was sitting in the same box as your crank sensor... anything more you care to share with us?

Tossed the crank sensor in a box and let it bang around w/ the other hardware, nice!
