Default Help!! Won't Start

Hey everyone this is my problem, My 93 T/A will crank over but it won't start. The mods done to the car was, A CC305 cam shaft, 1.6 roller rocker, Throttle body boreout to 52mm, BBK headers, 8.8mm accel spark plugs wires with coil, and a custom chip made by pcmforless all install. Also, no egr plus egr tubes deleted. The car started right up the day I finish putting it together and the aftermaket power steering pulley came off, I found out that I was sent the wrong one now that everything is done it won't start . There is spark going to the spark plugs, there is fuel going though the fuel lines. What can it be, I'm hitting a wall with this one any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You are in a very similar situation as me. I still havent gotten mine running yet but I would start by making sure your rockers are adjusted correctly. If your plugs are fouled then it will not start either. There wasnt much help for me on this site for me.

did you change your plugs during all this work? i would remove them and see if they are wet, if so replace them.

Yeah, I replace the spark plus with TR55 type, I'll check to see if there are foul or wet. As for the rockers they were adjusted according to gm manual, or at least i think I did. I'll check it out again just to be sure.

Well everyone I took out the spark plugs and looked at them and they had a little bit of carbon on them as well as being a little wet so I took them out clean them up and regap them. The gap seem to be too small I don't know how I made that mistake but I'm regapping them at .049, even though I got four different types of gaps info from books, manual and service techs, example: .035, .045, .050, & .060. Since I'm running NGK TR55 spark plugs I kind of split the difference and went with .049. anyway wish me luck guys hopefully my T/A should start.
