Default engine wont start :( ??

ok so i finished assembling the whole motor, and got it ready to start, and i kept cranking it and cranking but it wouldnt start, any ideas of where i might have gone wrong, could it be that those little ground wires are hooked up correctly?, or possibly the timing isnt correct, but im pretty sure i did that right, any ideas woul help thanks

Could be anything. Got fuel in the tank? Fuel pump running? Pulled codes?

Double check your connections. MAF, throttle body, POS...lot of wires in there. Any one can do that.

Default Sounds like a good party (?)

Of course, I am much too old for that sort of thing.

Default Never too old...

You could just watch.

Four cycle engine, suck, squeeze, bang, blow. Intake, Compression, Ignition, Exhaust.

Something to remember when *any* car won't start. You only have four possible things that could be wrong. Once you figure out which one, you can figure out which component of one of the four is missing.

Lets say you have no squeeze ( No compression ). Now, you just need to figure out why.

Squeeze but no blow? Check spark, if spark is there, check fuel, if fuel is there, check spark timing.
