Are you actually getting spark or does the coil pack just have power? Do you have a fuel injector test light. if so see if the injectors are firing. make sure the coil packs are firing. Fuel pressure is good and the car is cranking so im going to say the battery is good. This may sound wierd but using the button in the car, unlock the doors then shut the car doors. make sure everything is shut (hood, hatch, etc. ) using the keyless remote, lock the doors. count to ten then unlock. open door and try to start. see what happens. if you need anymore direct help you can give me a call. 8049084277. to me its not firing.

the spark plug has to be grounded before it will fire. plugging it into a wire and holding it there wont do anything.

Yea checked all 8 plugs this morning one at a time. Pulled the plug out and attatched it to the boot end of the wire and attempted to start the car. The plugs are firing. After pulling the plugs and looking at them all yesterday, I noticed they were all wet. Not dripping, but shiney with fluid. I know I have flooded the cylinders with fuel as many times as I have tried to start it. The good thing is that I know the injectors are working other than doing the lamp test on the wiring harness.

I am convinced now that it is a tuning issue or a sensor that was tweeked by the tune. Or, maybe the timing was adjusted and somehow is off now. I had my buddy (who is an LS1 tech junkie) come over last night to look at it also.

I guess Im gonna winch it on a trailor and take it to the tuner.

FOUND IT!!! I had 3 sets of broken rockers. When I put the rockers on the heads, the clearance from the inboard side of the rockers was very minimal. Texas Speed said the clearance would be fine with the Harland Sharpe rollers if they were tq'ed down to spec @22 ft lbs. I guess not! Well I guess I now have a new set of problems. Thanks for the help gentlemen. I will post more results tomarrow.
