Engine back in, can't get it to fire...

[curlesw]

...any suggestions? Everything is hooked up (99.9% sure). The engine turns over but just won't start. I can smell fuel, don't see any leaks and have tried long enough for it to prime.

All I did was replace the standard items which were suspect for leaking oil. Did not mess with the CIS or fuel. I did replace two oil lines as well.

TIA.

Make sure you have spark at the spark plugs. Before doing this you can make sure that you have 12v going to your coil.

Make sure the sensor is close enough to the magnet on the flywheel.

Do not treat the Bosch CDI like an old Chevy; the coil is not tested for 12V on a Porsche.

Please, learn about CDI before giving advise because bad advise is worse than no advise.

SC's don't have a magnet.
