everything's working but it still won't start...

ok, well i'm getting spark, fuel, and compression.

i've got an S5 TII motor stripped of everything. no PS, AC, no emissions, microtech and a full to4e and open downpipe.

the coils are firing, the injectors are clicking, the downpipe spits out white smoke when i crank the motor. the fuel pump works fine, good pressure. the motor spins fast enough. the motor has great compression.

it is NOT flooded. new wires/plugs.

I AM LOST.

any help is great. i just wanna start this thing up once and for all.

I had a similar issue a few years back. Turned out it was the ground wire on the back of the motor. Its attached to a clicp on the firewall and goes to the bellhousing. Have you tried to push it off. I was able to do that before I figured out it was the ground wire.
