the crank sensor goes to the oil pump and its held on there by a 10mm bolt to the oil pump.
there is also a ring on the crank gear that drives the timing belt and its on the crank gear to pick up the crank signal.
are you sure the crank pulley is lined up with white mark on the crank pulley not the yellow one.
You can also check and see what much voltage are you getting at the sensors with the key on.
Dude its something really stupid lol, let me know

Sorry I'm no more help for your issue, but did you have to rebuild the motor since your last dyno thread? I saw a thread about spun rod bearing, but can't figure out the sequence of when the motor came out, went in, got dynoed etc. Just curious.

damn check the ignitor is it getting power, cam sensors,crank sensor, the gear on the crank gear for the signal pick up.
then check pin 58B make sure it making a good contact its a red with yellow wire that goes from the ecu to the ignitor.
are you getting fuel right?
I wish I live in fl .
it the crank lined up at tDc with the cams? make sure its lined up with the white line on the crank pulley.
I had the same issue with my friend supra a couple weeks ago,I kept tearing to the wiring since I did the wiring after 3weeks of diagnostic it was the crank pulley lol .

im leaning towards it being the crank pulley. im going to send it to the guys that originally built the car. a working igniter didnt fix the problem so im frustrated .

Why the crank pulley? what wrong with it?
You have to make sure you are getting power at the igniter and the coils! anything could have happen, you never know so you have to extend the diagnostic..
Make sure you remove the lower timing cover and check what i've told you.

found the problem. wires for the cps were broken but visually it wasnt unnoticeable. i pulled it out this morning and cut off the plastic and rubber shielding and it was right infront of me, both wires were crimped. Easy fix and the car fired right up. Now im getting code 14 but the car idle and runs fine. whats code 14?

Bingo i knew it haha
I was getting a code 14" I know code 14 is IGF, IGF is used to tell the ECU that there is spark, and will remain adding fuel. If the ECU does not sense spark, the fuel will be cut.

The IGF wire is the red and yellow wire i was telling about in the previous posts.
