why does my car not want to start for me

ok i have just rebuilt my b18c2 pulled the whole motor out. now that it is back in it wnt start it cranks and sounds like it wants 2 but just doesnt. ive got hi comp pistons and crower cams. pulled the cams out and put standard 1s back in and cranked easier but u guessed it, it didnt start. timing is 100%. thought it was immobiliser so disconnected it and still the same. could it b vaccum. help please its been collecting dust for 2 long and i want it started. any feed back would b great

Have you checked your spark?

Do you have stock ecu or aftermarket?

This may sound stupid but have you adjust the valve clearances?

or even the battery??

Why would it be the Batt if he says it cranks over.

Check fuel and spark.

^ as above, check fuel pump, relays, fuses, starter motor, spark plugs, dizzy, ign leads and all grounding points

check the batt too, may need more cranking power cranks but wont crank over to start deano! :D

brand new walbro fuel pump already checked ign relays and fuses starter motor is fine cause it cranks the car brand new plugs with the dizzy if u turn it all 1 way it cranks alot harder than the other

now since you have a new walbro, are you getting fuel to the motor? new fuel filter (ie. been installed to flow the right way etc), injectors all connected up fine? sounds like its not getting fuel, check wiring on your fuel pump.

was a leakdown test done to ensure engine put together ok?

with your new Walbro fuel pump can you hear it prime when you put it in ignition? It should whir for about a second.

i let it prime everytime i try 2 start it

i made a video if it helps

by the look of that video ur starter motor doesnt look like its even cranking cause the engines not shaking. i may be wrong of course but maybe there a problem with the starter motor.

your starter motor dying man, get that changed first

If u have fuel going into the engine then it has to be spark problem

check your spark sequence
