Car Won't Start

Ok well my engine build is complete, and i have one small issue, my car won't start . I have a fully built bottom end and all the mod's in my sig including aem... I have tried 5 different member's maps and still no start. I am starting to think it is not related to AEM. When I go to start the car it turn's over and over but no fuel or spark. I have checked the spark plugs and they are not sparking and they have no fuel on them.. I am getting fuel pressure to the injector's and also have power to the coils. Timing looks to be fine, on aem it say's my car will not sync. I am guessing this is a cam/crank sensor issue, have any of you had issue's with those sensor's? I am getting power to them, could it be a ground or something? Any advice would be great.. -Brandon


-O yea, all fuses have been checked

Crank sensor installed incorrectly, maybe 180 degrees off.Also set your cam gears 0/0 change them when you get the car running.

Did you swap aem's with your buddy? Load his map in yours and put it in his car. If it starts on his car then it is a sensor issue. Try his aem in yours just to eliminate the aem.

I agree with the crank sensor. I had one of those get installed wrong at a shop...it worked for a while and then it got TAKEN OUT by that metal disk. Car shut right off...didn't start again until the sensor was replaced.

You will have to pull the front cover off. It will probably be hard with the motor in. Its a tight fit.
