Car won't start after clutch job
Hey guys,
I took the engine/trans out to replace the clutch (PP, flywheel), valve adjustment, new alternator, oil lines etc.
It's back in the car now and it won't start. It cranks/turns over, when I stop cranking it will sort of sputter. I can smell unburned fuel in the exhaust. I pulled one of the spark plug wires and had the wife crank it and it will spark to ground. Checked plug wire routing and it looks normal. Don't see any plugs disconnected.
Ideas? No codes.

964 dual spark ignition is very sensitive.
You are not getting a code yet because it hasnt started.??
I would focus on wiring harness connections to sensors and plugs and wires off distributer.
Good luck

Nice job. You mean when cylinder 1 was at TDC your main distributor rotor wasn't lined up to its mark?
