Unhappy cars fooked

the engine rebuild went perfect. but the thing won't start, it turns over but dont fire up.

i've checked the coils even though there new, the plugs are new too. the engine turns very smoothly, i even checked all the wiring to the engine, but could not find anything wrong.

theres fuel getting in, & there seems to be a spark. but the car was standing for 2 months. i even checked the earths.every thing seems to check out fine.

anyone have any ideas?

you checked the crank sensor?

should have been disconnected while you cranked the engine over after filling with oil

Without the crank sensor it will turn over but not fire up.

been checked, its not that. its know in a garage for a diagnostic.
even the garage said that the engine sounds smooth when turning over

but said it could very easy be one of the sencers that have gone.

compression test it.. will confirm cambelt and cams are fitted correct..

If you have fuel and you have spark then unlikely to be a sensor.. must be sparking and / or injecting at the wrong time.
