I found out the hard way after buying a DIC and forgot to turn the key in the off position before plugging it back in. The DIC is pretty sensitive and with the key in the on position.. while plugging it back up, it blows the DIC every time.

If spark is the issue, what would prevent spark from occurring? I have to find my back up DIC but the DIC in place is a brand new 2013 unit. The spark plugs are correct and brand new, just checked the gap before and are all perfect.

Any ideas?

Again, how do you check the cps? Thank you.

That would prevent the engine from firing.

You could also wrap a rag by the fuel pressure test port on the fuel rail and press the valve with a small screw driver and see if any fuel sprays out, if it does that means your pressurized.

I'd double check timing, and I've mentioned this before, make sure you have the cams in the correct place. The exhaust cam is furthest forward in the engine, and it has a notch on then end where in past designs drove the distributor. My machinist swapped these once on me and we wasted a bunch of time trying to figure it out after a rebuild.

Check for fuel, do the plugs seen wet? If you can't hear the pump I'd pull a plug and look. You can also check for spark by setting the di up with plugs in and grounded with a wire.

Do you hear the fuel pump prime if you turn the key to run and don't crank it?
