I recently rebuilt a newly purchased s4 non turbo. after replacing the an apex seal in the front rotor, and reassembling the car, (which i added a racing beat 12lb. aluminum flywheel, and I also took off everything on the engine except the alternator, and got a mazda trix blocking plate to take off the air pump) and the when I try to start it it cranks but doesn't start. at first i thought it was a fuel problem but the engine was getting fuel. and it thought i put the wires to the wrong injectors, so i swapped those. but the car was running off of carb cleaner. if anyone can give me any information i would greatly appreciate it.

 

So you half way rebuilt it? Without new coolant seals?

You removed everything off the engine? You mean the ACV, BACV, AWS system.

The injectors plug goes the lead with the 02 sensor go to the injectors next to firewall. The short one goes to the primary injector and the longer one goes to the secondary.

 

Let me get this straight...you rebuilt the motor with just one new apex seal???

Are the spark plugs wet with fuel?
It sounds like it's not getting any fuel.
Did you put the fuel hoses on backwards?
