Is the motor timing set to TDC? Is the engine harness grounded properly? What injectors are you using and what enigine harness?

Take the injectors out and test them. If they are working properly and you are getting an injector pulse at the harness and spark at the plugs then it's a TDC issue.

Put the stock cam gears back on if you can't tell what's going on with the aftermarket ones. Solve problems first, then you can reinstall the parts that completely obscure your troubleshooting results.

You can do that or do what I did. Remove the center bolt from the cam gears but dont take them off or move them at all. Look where the key part is and align the stock gears up to that key and mark your cam gears for the up notch and the two side points and then see if timing is correct. Mine was not because the cheap cam gears were marked wrong.

Mis-marked cams... Ive seen 'em too.

Where did the cams come from? You buy them new or off of someone as being "legit"?
