help car won't start.
Ok so I just helped my buddy put his motor back in his 97 z28. the car will not start. it has power, has fuel and the motor cranks. it just cranks and cranks but doesn't fire. we can't figure out what is happening. changed out the coil and the optispark and nothing. we are totally lost. the plugs were wet after about 25 seconds of cranking.

So is the car actually getting spark? Are the wires on in the right order? You only need fuel, spark and compression to get it to start and we know you have fuel and most likely compression as well. Does it hickup or try to start even?

well i know how much people hate not knowing the outcome, so heres what i heard tonight
cam was 3 teeth off, noticed by air coming out the intake
apperently 97's injectors run a fuse and relay, so with the fuse pulled, the injectors still fire, so he flooded out all the cylinders
also had a bad connection going to the coil, needed a new harness
re-alinged cam, re-oiled the cylinders, new harness = car was running tonight, saw it myself
