Hi people im having problems with my corsa redtop
ive fitted the engine and done all the conversion myself and it was all going well till a couple of weeks ago
it was starting and was running perfectly but now it wont start can any one help
ive checked the fuel pump relay and it clicks when the ignition is switched on and off
when the ignition is switched on i dont here the pump prime up but ive ran a direct live from it to the battery and it powers up so it cant be faulty
ive fitted a new crankshaft sensor that didnt work
ive checked all connections and they all seem ok
theres a good strong spark
ive checked the cam belt to make sure it hasnt slipped it seems ok
please people any help would be appreciated it should be on the road by now and this small problem is the only thing stopping me 
thanks gary

You mention about the pump priming and about spark but no mention if the plugs are wet?
Are you getting fuel through when you turn the ignition on? Maybe take the fuel line off the rail, place it in a bottle and turn the ignition on.

If the plugs are dry, there is a spark on all plugs and there is fuel pressure, then there is nothing stopping it from running. Unless your injector wiring has packed up/come loose etc?

Try a new fuel relay first. Then things like earths on the fuek rail etc. Make sure they are all good

180 degrees out?
Have you by any chance changed the cambelt and timed it up again afterwards? It may be timed up seemingly correct but it could be 180 degrees out as the crank pulley does 2 full turns for the cams one.
