Here's what's going on, I pulled the motor out of my (running) 2001 LS to freshen the motor, put it all back together and then crank but no start symptoms started..... Here's what I know. The crank sensor, cam sensor, and coils are all good. I put them on another 2001 Miata and the car ran fine.... The crank gap is perfect, as well is the timing. The plugs reek of fuel meaning injectors are firing. The Tach does not even wiggle when the car cranks and the check engine light is on constantly on even though there are no codes (I've looked about 4 times). Every wire is connected and I've checked that was well by unplugging every single wire in the entire engine bay and reconnecting them double checking everything is in proper condition and plugged in. The fuses that have anything to do with the motor running have all been checked with a multi meter both inside and in the engine bay of the car. I am at a complete loss and am asking for any help, thanks guys.

Make sure the crank trigger plate did not go on backwards. It will never start with it on the wrong way.
Edit Dave beat me to itThe only thing that oughta be hella flushed is a toilet.

I've tried the wheel both ways and still nothing... I've also pulled the trigger wheel off a running car to get the proper orientation with the "bulb" facing out. I just cant think of a way the tach wouldnt move unless the crank signal was bad or malfunctioning but it is a known good with the test on the running car.

On these, the tach "bouncing" typically doesn't apply.David Luney - Suwanee GA

Ground straps are connected? On the NA there's a eye terminal for the coil pack that goes to the back of the head. Since the plugs are wet it's reasonable to assume that the ECU is seeing rotation and firing injectors, so it's on the coil side..

Did you take off the VVT pulley doing your refresh? Wonder if the alignment dowel did the same thing.
