99 miata engine rebuild wont start
 

Greetings! my first post on a new forum. Ive been apart of clubprotege for awhile now and decided to take a new route with a miata as a project. I bought the 1999 miata 3 months ago with a rod knock.

I pulled the engine, rebuild it and now it will not start. Sometimes it hickups then backfires but no start. I checked and double checked timing and had a friend look at it. Its dead on.

there is spark, it reeks of fuel, and timing is on. Im stuck haha

I cant find the plug for the knock sensor.

Also i had to drill and tap a hole to mount my crank position sensor, im wondering if this has something to do with no start?

Thanks-will

Possibly. Did you set the gap to within the specs the sensor is needing?
