Yet another starting problem
I just finished my HSR swap today and took forever to hunt down all the little fuel line parts and fittings, but now it won't even start. It ran perfect before the swap and I set everything back the way it was prior to the swap. The dist. is in the same exact spot. I am getting fuel. It seems like there is just no spark. I even replaced the module to cover all my bases. Is there anything else that could have overlooked while putting it all back together, such as sensors and the like? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have a gauge, but there is plenty of fuel getting to the rails (I had a small fuel leakage problem and it would shoot out).

you sure your are not getting spark? quick easy way to find out though take the wires off and put it near a bolt under the hood somewhere and try to start the car. if you get a spark there you know your getting spark as well.
might want to check fuel pressure still though.
my rx7 right now is down for the count because of too low of fuel pressure.
takes FOREVER to start but once it build up enough pressure inside the fuel rails I can get it to start but I can't get it rev any faster then idle.
there is still fuel comming through though just not enough pressure so double check that and see if you can borrow a gauge from someone if nothing else.
how does it sound when it tries to start?
spinning too fast? sounds like it's struggling to even turn by start power? when it's trying to turn over does it sound smooth and normal? does it give you any attempts to start at all?
