I have tested all the coils all the plugs went threw the whole harness to make sure i plugged everything in. I'm at a loss could it be a theft deterrent system ? i unplugged my turbo timer thinking it might be that but nope. so if anyone has an idea pleas help. it wants to start i can here it trying to!

so ok now that everything is up and running I still have a problem. the transmission when i push in the clutch peddle i can feel it release but when it dose it makes a loud noise like its grinding or slipping and it only happens when i push in and when i release it. but when the clutch is fully out its fine no grind. but when i go to shift gears its a quick grind not a gear grind but a pressure plate grind. i got it from drift motion its there heavy duty pressure plate and stock R154 clutch disk ? anyone ever have a problem like this. it sounds like i might have forgot something when i assembled it like a peace of the release barring or something or i didn't torque it down hard enough? i don't know. I bought everything that was needed from toyota to assemble the release barring. it has a new clutch a new 2800 lbs pressure plate, a new fork and release barring assembly. it just seams like its engaging very loose like. any thoughts pleas

sound from transmission
so this is what i found out. Apparently using the spacer that came from the auto trans should not be used on the soarer R154 setup it will cause the springs on the clutch disk to scrape the bolts on the flywheel no good. dose anyone know if by pulling the spacer and running the bolts all the way in will be ok? they wont be rubbing on anything? i hope.

thanks man that worked out awesome thanks for the info. now all i need to do is find out why it runs so rough. As soon as i get it up to 3000 rpm it starts to sputter and backfire a little and run real bad. but if i slowly take the rpm up it sounds ok not to bad but when i mash down the throttle it wont get over 3000 rpm and sounds like ish
