Hey I checked back the cas the engine kept on flooding and jumping as if I was trying to start and then backfire but I dont think the cas isnt installed crrect what do I do to install it correctly? Do I line up the e shaft pully with the in on the block and line up the cas with the ntch at the bottom? I really want to drive this car and Aaron cake are you the person that build project Tina??? If so great build!!!

I think to really make sure everything is right you need to do the procedure for finding TDC on the front rotor. search/archives should have it. IIRC you pull the plugs from the 2nd rotor and turn the engine until you see an apex seal in the plug hole (leading?) with an inspection mirror. This will be TDC on the front the CAS should be aligned with the engine in this position, again IIRC, so do a search.

So did you verify that the CAS is installed correctly? And that the spark plug wires are in the correct position?
Maybe the thing is now totally flooded. Tried unflooding it after fixing the CAS?
Worst case, a push start with another vehicle always works.

Check the cas with a trimming light to see where it's firing. U only have to be close to get it running.
I think ur problem is something else wish I could see the car myself.
U need four basic things to run an engine no matter how much bs is on it.
Air
Fuel
Compression
Spark.
It's less complicated than u might think

well there was water in it when i took out the spark plug wires.... my friend had spilled all og his water on it when we were doing the build -__- so yea it is getting 12volts when the key is on but not giving any spark at all .... but could that cause my engine to not start?

Question about your comment
