Well, i tore it down to replace head gaskets, i replaced the old heads with some ported heads, even installed headers while i was at it, put it all back together without coolant in the motor because if THIS happened i wouldnt have to take EVERYTHING back off, i have ALL the electrical harness hooked back up excepth the O2 sensors, it will spin over but not run, it is getting fuel, also fire. I removed the opti which was falling apart due to the last owner leaving the bolts loose, i tore it down and cleaned it up, reassembled and reinstalled the opti. It doesnt even sputter or pop like it is out of time.
any codes does your ses light come on? i cant remember if the opti is master slpined or not.. but poss you have the timing off does it sound like you have compression.. and are the valves adjusted?

it cranks over and doesnt even sounds like its goana fire?
where did you check to see if you were getting spark at? the cylinders? or coil?
are you SURE the wires are i nthe correect locations???(still should fire up)
is the crank position and opti plugged in?
if its got fuel pressure then the pcm is turning on...the o2 wont keep it from starting...
