And heres what my cars … cranks and wants to start but doesn’t. I have plenty of fuel psi, i have spark and injector pulse. i have set the cam sensor a few times following procedure on [gnttype.org](http://gnttype.org)… Thanks, Bryan ---

i have replaced just about every sensor already. i am thinking maybe i have possible burnt up my rings doing this motor didn’t get broken in to long before i started having my problems. heres what ive done trying to get this so far… new fuelpump, all relays, fuel filter, crank sensor, cam sensor, maf, swapped ecms, ignition module, coil pack, 3 sets of plugs already, and wires. i have spark, injector pulse and plenty of fuel pressure. compression was at around 120 on all cyclinders last time i check… (this has .030 over trw’s to. i don’t know if it should be higher or not. but when i crank it i am getting black/blueish smoke coming out the exhaust and through the breathers on the valve covers. and i can smell gas in my oil when pull the dipstick… thanks for the input. ---

If you have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, I would try setting the fuel pressure at 16 to 20 psi just to see if the motor fires. Then I would take a look at the voltage on the TPS, should be .4 to .45 at idle. I had a similiar problem, TPS was shot.
