No spark 4ktq project



Not sure why,
	I have fuel and motor is almost ready to run.. But I have no
spark.  Actually I have one fuel problem too.   I'll adress them both.
	1) Fuel.  I have fuel, but I have to much.  when I turn key to ON
position, FP jsut stays on.  I'm suspecting a Bad Check Valve or something
leaking pressure off.  This with the assumption that the FP turns off when
a certain FP is reached.  I guess that pressure is not being reached.  
	2) Spark.  this is the one that baffles me.  i have the wires
hooked up to the coil right.  (I'll verify this this weekend)  I ran out
of time to troubleshoot but I wanted to run it by the list before next
weekend.  If I have the Hall Sendor and timing TDC pickup connected to the
wrong connecots, would that cause it.  
	I'm not sure which wire on the harness side is the right one.  I
guess the labels fell off and they are all Grey in color.  I think I have
the Knock sensor figured out from doing a continuity check.  but the other
two share round or something so I get continuity to both connectors when I
try to check them at the other end.  I think I have it right but not sure.  
	Maybe I miss labeled the wires themselves.  Which sensor and Hall
and whichi s the TDC sensor.  One is on top of the other one.  
	Also, Bently specifies Gapping the Sensors.  I didn't do this.
Engine was int he car and tranny installed when I installed the sensors.
oops.  But I dotn see what this does.  There are no shims for them.  How
do you change gap???  Finally, I painted block.  Does sensor bottom need
to contact metal or jsut the screws.  maybe this is the problem.  I'm
assuming my problem is int hs area but not sure.  Any way to check the
coil to make sure it works properly??  how do I check wires to coil to
make sure coil is getting the signal to fire?  A Multi-Meter wont react
fast enough.  Do I turn Ignition ON and turn crank by hand and watch for a
voltage fluctuation (12v???) on the input wire??
	Thanks.  Motor is close to running.  I think.  
Thanks
