Graham, TX: a place so nice, they rob your house t
Rewired engine w/ new harness. Check.
New spark plugs. Check.
New plug wires. Check.
Fuel pump primes. Check.
Coil pack tested and good. Check.
Plugs do indeed spark. Check.
Injectors tested and firing. Check.
All fuses good. Check.

Does anyone have ANY suggestions? For the life of me I can't figure out why this thing still won't start. I've checked all my harness plugs and connections. They're good and solid. It won't start with starting fluid sprayed in it either.

ARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!

***sigh***

will it crank?

try looking at the TPS sensor...(Throtle positioning sensor)
or the crank shaft sensor

* someone help me out on these names...i had these changed a while ago in my car and i cant for the life of me remember the names *
 
Your best bet would be to bring it to a mechnics shop and have them find out the problem and fix it yourself. Other than that I'm not sure. Have you checked the battery connections (not saying you didn't)? Cleaned the MAF and IAT?

The only thing I can think of is a bad starter or bad PCM. I hope you figure this out before the rally.
