Starting Problem

[DC S14]

ok here goes. like a week ago i brought my car into the garage (running perfect with a new starter and altenator) to change my OEM intake pipe due to a hole in the side of it, caused by my clutch fan, and to install a shroud. i installed the pipe and shroud and connected everything back as it goes and then i get to start it, it would not kick over. i checked the fuel pump, starter, altenator, battery, MAF, relays, fuses, conectors and EVRYTHING possible. i but new spark plugs new wires and even a new coil (from junkyard). still NOTHING. i checked the plugs to see if they have spark going to then with a screw driver and they have no spark. i took a test light and checked all the conectors and they all have power going to them and they do. i am stumped i have no idea why the car is not kicking over. its not the plug wires cause i have 2 sets of em and neither set has spark to em. there is just no spark going to the motor. if anyone has any idea what can cause this or is causing this please let me know. id be easier to contact me thru a phone call cause im not going to have the internet for about 3-4 days. so you can jsut call me @ 702.300.1449. Eddie.or if you post within the next like 4 hours i can get to read it but after that you can call. thanks.

Are you sure the alternator is charging the battery? Check engine light on when you turn the key to ON? When you try to start it, do you hear clicking (starter solenoid recieving power I believe)? Dead battery is also a possibility. Check alternator fuse just in case. Wiring harness maybe (happened to me). Shit, don't know what else to tell ya. Take it to Doug at Ice Performance, he fixed my wiring thing for my alternator with ease.

distributor, crank angle sensor, and ignitor chip would be my 3 guesses.

KA doesnt have a crank angle sensor nor a ignitor chip

if you said there isn't spark, try checking for power to the coil, or the cap and rotor...
