I'm getting spark, I'm getting injector pulse, I'm getting fuel. there's compression. I don't understand all the wires are hooked up right it won't start. at first I was having problems with the ignition system, but I fixed all that. now it won't start. I'm thinking the main relay. Could somebody help me out and tell me where that's at and how to test it?

Hello,

If you are getting spark, fuel, and have compression then vehicle should start. Have you checked your vehicle's Crankshaft Position Sensor?
I have included a link below for you to go to:

Please go through the guide and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
