FD wont start...

Hey Guys,

I recently just got my FD running from being off the road for a year with an engine rebuild etc. All was going well until last week. Whilst driving everything turned off. Pretty quick to assume it was my alternator giving in. I took it home and done some further testing. Started the car while the engine was cold, it ran for 10 seconds then died (found it was the alternator).
So I got a new alternator and installed it. Went to turn the car on but it just cranks and doesn't start. First thought that come to mind was it was flooded. So I pulled the plugs and found the leading plugs to be a little wet but they are brand new. So I started the deflooding procedure. Pulled the fuel pump relay and EGI relay, foot to the floor and crank for 15-20 seconds. I did this a few times, then put everything back on but still nothing. I did this through out the day. I checked all the relays and fuses and everything seems to be fine. It's getting spark, it's getting fuel...

Any ideas guys?

Thanks,

Have you verified that you have spark?

First make sure you have spark and fuel pressure

I remember there was a plug and a ground on alternator when I changed.
Check all that.
Once I changed mine, i hooked the jump cable to battery (mine died after weekend drive then never started since) and it started right back up.
