Hi guys, Yesterday I came back from my friend place's and drove 40 minutes without any problem at all. When I was close home I did a little 3-4 pull. When I was in 4th gear...I felt the engine missfire a little bit for 2-3 seconds and then died. I pulled over to the side of the road and the car cranks without any problems but won't start. I can still hear my fuel pump when I turn the key to on. Never had any problems like this before and car always ran great Please help a fellow out this is my car Engine: 6 bolt engine complety rebuild competitive automobile All the seals have been changed with oem Wiseco pistons Eagle rods Cometic Headgasket Magnus intake manifold Balanced and blue printed Kevlar timing belt Balance shaft elimination kit Brian Crower Stage 2 cams 272 Brian Crower Springs and Retainers 1mm Oversized valves Port and polish 1000cc injectors AEM Fuel Rail Walbro 255 fuel pump AEM FPR Dual Core Rad with 2 slimfans Turbo Set up: DNP Exhaust manifold Garrett GT35 Tial 44mm wastegate Godzilla BOV Snow Performance stage 2 water/meth injection Megan Racing 02 housing full 3 inch exhaust Hallman Evolution RX Boost Controller Big FMIC 2.5 inches piping all around Transmission: Complety rebuild by Magnus Spec Stage 3 clutch ACT Streetlite flywheel Engine Management: Dynatek Arc 2 AEM ECU AEM Wideband

First would be to check if you are getting spark and that your injectors are shooting fuel.

Two ways, both start out the same.
Remove spark plugs keep them rested on the valve cover or any other area that will allow them to ground.
Way 1: remove the CAS and turn it manually with the car in ign, should see sparks and you should hear the injectors firing and you will smell fuel from the spark plug wells
Way 2: turn the car over a few times and watch for spark, smell the spark plug wells to see if there is fuel in them.
Way 1 is definitely the better way to go but if you are lazy, and don't want to redo your timing, than way 2 works too. I personally would go with way 1 because you can do it on your own and it will allow you to hear everything cause you don't have to listen to the car cranking over.

ok and if I have sparks...that means the coils are good right? Also when I turn the key to on I get fuel pressure...just checked my FPR Two ways, both start out the same.

Correct, coils are good.
Fuel pressure is good but if your injectors aren't opening, it isn't going to do you much good.

yeah that's a good point, or mark the cas for where the bolts are.

Nope, just two bolts that hold it to the head
yes key needs to be in ign position.

That's not good. Well toss the battery on a charger and try and start the car, if the alt is gone the car should still start, she will just die after a while.
