Unhappy It Just Wont Start!!!

Well the air filter is clean, I've taken the injectors to get professionally cleaned, ive set perfect timing and even tried advancing the timing, theres plenty of spark (new spark plugs and damn good battery), cables are all ok. It just doesn't want to start. Ive tried to unflood it but even that doesnt work. Compression is still good. Started up a few days ago and ran strong as hell. Yet for some reason doesnt want to start up now.

Any ideas? A sensor maybe? Im getting kinda frustrated

Flooding is not the problem in this case. It sparks up, tries to start, but wont. Like I said ive gotten the injectors professionally cleaned and even trying to unflood it refuses to start. Compression is good as well. So what else could it be?

Theres 2 basics to getting a car to start. Fuel and spark. You say its getting plenty of spark, so what about fuel? Is the pump working? Is the filter clogged? You took the injectors out, did you put everything back correctly? Are you sure? These are all questions you need answers to.

Hmm well theres definitely fuel. Spark is there since they are new spark plugs and spark up nicely when out of the chambers.

Hmm....I believe the pump is working correctly since it feeds fuel to the injectors.

Filter same as pump, still feeds sufficient fuel.

I believe everything is back in correctly. Ive double and triple checked everything.

Im stumped on this one. Even if I unflood it, it still wont start. The flooding isnt that bad compared to before with leaky injectors.

None the less still wont start. >_<

Cranks up sweet, and as I try to advance/retard the timing it tries to catch but wont. ITs as if something is holding it back.

What is this relay of which you speak of?
I just went out to test everything again and I guess I blew a fuse somewhere cuase its not getting spark now. So now its two problems. First is getting spark back. >.O

Interesting.

Also what does this main relay go to? The coils or the fuel pump?

I am getting fuel but no spark now. Started raining atm so I can't really follow the wiring. >_<
