Default 1996 stratus fuel and fire, no start

Hi all, new to the forum, wonderful site.

1996 dodge stratus issue.

Rebuilt motor, compression is 180/across
I have fuel to the injectors. I also have spark

I have replaced the crank position sensor,
As the old one was broken..

Motor cranks fine, just no start

The one thing that I have yet to replace
Is a broken knock sensor.

Will that stop the car from running?

180 on an engine that hasn't even been ran yet?


Not unless the knock sensor has shorted. Unplug it to rule it out.


Also make sure someone didn't swap the coil and cam sensor connectors...they will interchange and if the wiring has been moved they CAN be accidentally swapped because they will reach untethered.

Exclamation

The knock sensor is broken, therefore it's not hooked up

Compression: 195,195,190,195

Still not starting. I've check the coil wire
With the cam sensor, plugs are not the same.
