Default Need Help!! Car Doesn't Start, Why?!?!?
pulled my motor thinking my 427 was goin to be done in a week. motor wasnt even close to being done . so i decided to drop the stock ls1 back in. i have the motor in and bolted up, problem is is that the car wont start. im pretty sure its getting fuel. the car isnt getting any spark. i have checked all the fuses and they are all good. all the plugs are in. im thinking maybe a ground fault. maybe i put the ground off the coilpack wrong. what do you guys think?

ANY HELP will be great,

crank position sensor, behind starter plugged in? If it is turning off and just not popping off, this is not plugged in.

im pretty sure it is plugged in, but that will cause the motor to have no spark at all?
