   crank sensor?
   
   if its turning over and not firing, which it sounds like then that could be it.

   Are the cams spinning? If not then i would try the flywheel sensor. If they are its something else. When i did my conversion i had a similar problem. It turned out to be an earth. If you have a jump lead, put one end on the front engine mount eye and the other end on the negative pole on the battery. Then turn it over. If it starts its your earth behind the battery. Just give it clean with some wire wool or sand paper. If not PM me what youve already tried and ill give you some more options. Im the problem solving king lol, i had fucking loads of issues!!
