That would be me yeah I couldn't find the notch on the pulley

I pulled the oil pump shaft and rotated it 180 degrees and reassembled it. Moving all plugs back to original position 153624

Appears 180 out

Not sure there is a mark on the pulley. I did repaint it.

Pencil in plug hole shows piston all the way up

Valve up toward spark plug side

But then it should have started when I reversed the plug wires

Distributor appears to be 180 degrees out

How can I confirm that I am on the compression stroke if piston 1 is at The top?

At 536241 it started wanting to catch, and I could smell gas

Do I just rotate the plug wires one position at a time?

Swapped ECU with known good unit. No luck. After swapping the plug wires back, there was a bump that almost stopped the starter. Timing off?

I swapped around the plug wires from 153624 to 624153 And got some kick.

I'm gonna try swapping ECU

Tachometer is hooked up and moves slightly when turning over

Gap was at .025", now at .032". sprayed starting fluid in each cylinder when gaping plugs - nothing. No pop or catch

Checked continuity from pin1 to gnd and the circuit is complete - 1.2 ohms. With coil (-) connected to gnd

Brand new Bosch spark plugs

I pulled several different plugs to check if they were wet and to check spark.

some of the clips on the fuel injectors were missing and I replaced those and insured they were snapped in place. I did touch each one of the connectors to verify connection. I did use real starting fluid also. will go into the manifold directly. I did get one pop, but that was it. I haven't run a continuity check from the coil's negative wire to the ECU bc I thought I had to actually run a wire with an alligator clip to the inside of the car to get close enough to pin 1.

Double checked all EFI connections - appear connected. Tried starting fluid after the AFM, no luck. Since I have a parts car (that ran), I will try ECU swap next. Next I'll check the clicking of the injectors - need my son there to turn the key. Thanks for the help.

1976 280Z. Car was given to us. Engine just rebuilt and put back in. Getting spark. Fuel pump replaced with known good unit (parts car that ran). Dropping resistors measure 6 ohms per troubleshooting guide. Relays replaced #2 injector does not measure 12V at ECU (all others do) brand new fuel filter i have pressure at the rail (loosen hose clamp and fuel sprays out). spark plugs are not wet when removed. i suspect that the injectors are not opening timing could be off as I did the rebuild myself brand new battery. car turns over, does not start. any ideas?
