    The only time ive ever seen injector codes is when the ecu goes.

    Wait a second. Im getting injector and crank/cam angle sensor codes on my car. It still runs but tries to die/restart/die/restart and then acts normal after a while. Maybe my ecu is going out..

    After the ground issue, try swapping out the computer for a known good one in the area and post up results.

    Computer is fine! It has already been rebuilt.

    If there is anything wrong with the ignition/timing you can get the TDC, Injector, Ignition circuit, Etc... It's just how the ecu interprets what is going on. if the CAS sensor is not readin correctly it will throw codes for all thre as those are the things not working due to the CAS.

    Well I did some digging today and found that the CAS was not getting the 5v from the ECU. So I took a look at the ECU and noticed the small top plug was not plugged in all of the way....Dooohhh! It must have made it's way loose when I was running the wiring for the AEM wideband.

    So now I am not getting any codes but the car still will not fire over. Checked the plugs and I am getting fuel as the plugs were coated in fuel due to the CAS issue as the ECU limps into all open injectors for 4 seconds if it does not get a signal. So the engine is flooded right now. Hooked up my timing light just to see if I am getting voltage to the plugs. Light fires every time......

    My question now is will a timing light fire if the plugs are fouled??? It just looks for a signal correct, which means my plugs could be fouled due to cylinders being flooded!

    I'm going to let the car sit for the night and try to start it again tomorrow. Should give the plugs enough time to dry out.

    The wires fire no matter what the plugs are doing.

    Thanks....

    So I'm thinking that with the amount of fuel in the cylinders it just wet fouled the plugs causing the no spark. I'll crank it over tomorrow and hopefully it will fire right up!

    OK... So the plugs were all fouled so I went and changed them out. I tested them out and I am indeed getting spark now. I am also getting Fuel but still the car will not fire! So I check the compression and it's 180 "Engine still have 10:1 n/a pistons" so it's not a compression issue.

    So I'm thinking it has something to do with the CAS "engine is 1st gen". I pop it off and rotate it 180. Now when I go to start the car it tries to fire for the first couple turns and then nothing. It also sounds like it firing on the exhaust side. OK So the CAS is off. I turn it back 180 and try to start and nothing....... WTFH!!!!

    So does anyone know an absolute method to find out which way the CAS is supposed to be mounted?

    The manual is worthless and doesn't stat anything. Stealth316.com just states to make sure you reinstall it the same way it came off. But I cannot find how to install it to make sure it is in correct. I need to eliminate the CAS form being an issue and until I can get the damn thing mounted correctly I am going to be wondering if it is in there right or not!!

    If I leave the CAS in the center adjustment position the car should still start and run until I can set the timing correct?

    I am also not getting any CEL's now which makes it even more of a pain to figure out.
