Got a little further. I decided to replace all coils then I know they will be good.

I flipped the coils on the sides to test for spark. I have spark in all 5 but it seams weak (the battery could be down from multiple starts)

I don't know how a strong spark looks.

Now I'm into checking the fuel I guess

I triple checked my fuel line hook up, they are routed the right direction. I have good pressure (judging buy the way fuel blows out the connection when I loosen it) up to the FPR but there is no fuel going through the rail. I took the return line off the fuel rail and ran the pump manually and nothing. So I will be buying a new FPR.

I didn't know that the FPR could completely shut off, I thought it would just offer crappy flow.

Take the cover off the relay and sqeeze the solonoid together, that will run the pump.

the fuel should go through the rail first... then come out after the regulator. if not it aint going to start.....

Fuel returns via the FPR...

Well damn, I thought it was like this picture.

I just looked at the Bently and you are right Delta
I'm glad I didn't buy a new FPR.

Now that I think about it that is the only way for the FPR to control the pressure in the rail.

FuKIN AWESOME, After my dumb moment with the fuel lines i tried to bump it over and BANG the engine started.

I don't have my radiator hooked up yet so it didn't run more than 4 seconds.

I will overnight the hoses and get some fluid in it.

I feel like Im on a drug right now

Cam timing?
Check it again.... inculding inlet to exhaust, cam cover off job... the two 0s should be opposite each other...when all the others are in position...

The fuel rail is piped the right way round? feed goes to the far end of the rail first (nearest the front)....

I said it FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

I said it FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Yes you did, I must have been tired and worked up.
I will be able to run it on Thursday for a good length of time.

Thanx to everyone

The car starts good now, but I don't think the water pump is moving any fluid... after having the car run for a short while the top radiator hose never gets warm but the hose to the heater core is warm.

While the car is running will there be fluid flowing into the expansion tank (through the small return line)?

I'm scared to run the car too long to find out how things warm up.

Oh and does the S2 have a fluid cooler for the power steering? If so does somebody have a picture I could see?

Thanx

here it is the fluid cooler
