Need you guys opinion/help!

Been having trouble with getting my car started for about a month!

Things i have changed: New crank sensor 86/87 with connector, cam sensor cap, upgraded ign module and coil pack to 86/87, and replaced ignition switch! with that being said my car still wont start and i cant figure out why.
Things i have done: I did the no start test, everything checked out fine. Fuses are good, im getting fuel, put a new module connector on from casper. wiring looks good under the a/c bracket. Did the cam sensor timing, made sure the crank sensor is in the right position. So im stuck and need help asap. Im moving this weekend and is trying to prevent of having it towed to the mechanic.

So any help would be appreciated!

Forgot to mention what the car is doing.

Its cranks, fuel is at the rail and can smell it on the spark plugs, im not getting spark (if im doing it right, remove spark plug, put back in the boot and ground it against the screw coming out the manifold?)

How did you connect/adapt the 86/87 crank sensor?


Edit:
Go to the last post (as of this date/time) in the sticky.
It has a trouble shooting link.
Go to the 85 and scroll down to the wiring diagram, and follow the wires from the crank sensor just to be shure.
These diagrams are very good, and clear!

I have the connector harness from casper

This is what I went threw, does your cam sensor cap have the led light on it? Is it lighting up?, check the ccci fuse in fuse box, check the breaker on the hot wire kit, check the crank sensor make sure it's in the right spot and make sure it's gapped right, check ignition module, and wires inside ignition module, hope it helps man that ccci fuse has bit me more than once!!

 

[Chatmanboy]

yes i have the led and it lights up. ccci fuse? havent check that where is that at on the fuse box? i dont have the ign module harness with the hotwire. and i checked all the other things over and over again and everything look good lol... so hopefully its that ccci fuse!!!

you need a adapter of some kind from the harness to the coil only 3 wires are the same!!
You at least need a adpter like the top one shown below...
The other one was wired wrong (note wire J) in both pics- my car would not start with that adapter...

Problem solved! Jerryl and O So LO hit it right on the head. it was my wiring on the ign module. because i got the 87 to 84 crank sensor harness but had the 87 module. so i had to switch two wires and it fired right up. really appreciate it guys

having similar problem is the adapter in top photo for the 87 crank sensor conversion?

 

[O SO LO]

No, the adapter is for the ignition module-
