UPDATE:::cylinder 3 will not fire :(
I checked compression, compression is perfect, replaced plugs 4 times, replaced cap 3 times, replaced entire dizzy 3 times, replaced rotor button 3 times, and replaced plug wires 2 times. Im getting fuel, tested power to injectors and ohms, and smells of raw unburned fuel. Also checked for voltage on the dizzy plug and got readings that were weird and im not sure as to what they are supposed to be and not sure as to if all 6 connections are indeed suppose to have voltage.

What the hell is wrong with this thing?

Car is a 96 sentra w/det, obd2>obd1 conversion harness running on a calum basic b13 ecu.

Make sure the injector isnt stuck open or leaking. Pull the rail off, turn key on and see if fuel is shooting out of #3 injector

Oh, you KNOW that you arent getting any spark? Then forget my suggestion. Did you pull #3 wire and physically watch for spark as the motor was running?

Did you just do conversion, swap, etc? Details are important... Like that you KNOW it isn't getting spark.

yes, i know it is not getting spark on #3. I physically watched it while it was running and NO spark. Here are all details on my car:

1996 sentra
sr20det was in my 92 se-r and now in the 96
Using obd2 96 200sx se-r harness
using an obd2>obd1 conversion harness made by zer099 from sr20forum
92 se-r ecu with calum basic set up.

could be a bad distributor

bad distributor or dirty CAS inside the distributor. Its either that or one of the jumper harness wires for the conversion are bad. May even be a bad ecu if something else went wrong in the process.

f....

I had absolutely no problems with this swap when it was in my b13 and when i put it into the b14 is when everything started to suck.

Problem after problem.

Is there a way to clean the CAS in the dizzy? I wish someone i knew had a dizzy to swap and see if thats the case but i know nobody in my area who i can borrow a dizzy from....and i bought the dizzy i have from a guy on here and he said it was a perfect working dizzy.

how could i tell what wire in the conversion harness is bad? what wire/pin is it so i can check continuity?
