Exclamation LS Vtec Turbo dizzy problem? im stumped

im having trouble starting my ls vtec i only dissasembled the head for a cam seal leak and switch out the turbo, its tuned to 7 psi and ran pretty good but turbo was leakin and it was egay.......

My car just cranks till the battery dies its on timing and i believe it is my dizzy it only gives a little spark.... i even rigged up the distributor...

i currently changed out the spark plugs because they were flooded and black and now i put these 11 Ngk v power they flooded as well and i cleaned em i gapped them at .50 i believe

Out of ten cranks it 2 times it sounded like it wanted to crank..... anyone?

Check the dist internally. First check the basics...rotor button, coil, cap insides. Then check for burt or blacken wires. If none of that helps check the terminal that the wires hook to inside the dist. Also check your wires that you modified for burn spots. Check all your ignition based fuses (ECU things like dat) Check to make sure your altnator is properly adjusted also.

You trying get someone to turn the car over while you pull a plug wire and hold it to metal to see if your getting spark? Also curious as to wat exactly you did when you said you wired the distributor urself...did you convert it or has it been converted from OBD2 to 1 or vice versa

Check your ECU and make sure your chip is making good contact with the ZIF Socket i had my chip come loose before and that will cause it not to start.
