im staying pretty tight to this thread cause i have a similiar "car wont start" problem. i checked my fuses relating to engine in the manual and they are all fine. i checked all my piping, plugs, maf, and now im going to have an experienced mechanic search for the problem cause this is just getting out of my knowledge.. but i have spark and fuel but it just wont start it cranks but no combustion. im guessing timing problem.

hmmm.....well like people have said to start small. Have you tried disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes then putting it back on and trying. It's something to try before you start tearing stuff apart. That random misfire code makes me worry that you didn't blow something up since the car had some misfire then you romped on it. Can you pull any other codes off the car? Have you tried that?

I did not run out...I have a wide band as well...on top of that i was on 100 octane and wasnt picking up any knock on evoscan...I nwas logging the pull it died on. Also since I have a built bottom end it can withstand a lot more abuse. But in either case my methanol level was fine.
Also i have a check engine light knock light as Im running Tephra V7 wich starts to flash at 3 counts

Plugged everything back in reset the battery still nothing. Gonna try swapping cam sensor with a buddy of mine to see if anything changes. if that fails Im gonna have to pull the timing cover off. I hope it doesnt come to that as it is a PITA. I had to replace my front crank seal about a month and a half ago and was hating life lol

I have a bit of an update...i wasnt able to meet up with my friend but i had him disconnect his cam sensor and try to crank it over...he said the car seemed like it wanted to start but would die right away. My car doesnt even show a hint of wanting to start. So i gues im gonna have to remove the timing cover and inspect the crank position sensor. Does anyone know the proper procedure for testing it? Like what reading should i get on the voltmeter? or is there another way to test it?
