No alarm system with a loose connection??
Do you have blown an ic hose?? (assuming you are running stock ecu and afpr)
The simptoms off the greddy set after the stock x-over tube is loose..
(check all hoses between AFM and trottlebody)
So do you have spark and fuel??

have you varified that the timing belt works? You say there is spark but where in the cycle does it spark? A timing light should tell you that. Maybe it's off by some amount causing it to fire when there is no fuel in there. that would be hard though, since it's a wasted spark system anyway.

I am going to check the time first thing when I get home.. I am really hoping that is the problem.
I dont want to deal with sending the engine back in for warranty issues

Check the cas sensor,mark correct location, remove it and put the wires back on them.
Remove 1 sparkplug at a time, put them back on the cable.
Put ignition on ON, rotate the cas by hand while holding the sparkplug against the metal valve cover.(spark)
Test all 4, or at least both coilpacks (always have 3 inside the engine)
You have spark?
Next replace the afm with a good one...

I did this but I couldnt get a spark when I moved the CAS
there is a spark when cranking the engine however

This can't be good:
I'm thinking that's the reason my belt has a nice cut out of it.
The timing is no where near being right, you cant even see the notch on the crankshaft when the cams are lined up

Negative. 22mm bolt in that pic is what holds that little gear on the crank. Remove that bolt, and it will come off with some effort. Slide a new one on. But figure out why the belt got loose before. Was the tensioner torqued down? Timing belts are not rocket science.
Change the water pump too while you got it all apart, unless it's like Really really new. I'd just change it anyways so you don't have to worry about it. And camshaft seals, change them too.

All these things were changed before I got the engine.. so maybe... 4 or 5 months?
I should have checked everything before I put it in..
The one off the long nose crank wont fit will it?
I guess if I have to I can swap the crankshaft to a longnose one.
I'd really rather not though.
I will go tinker some more and see what I can find out

Just leave the engine in...No the gears from the longnose crank won't fit...
Remove the bold (you can use the starter motor to undo it, put a big wrench between the passenger underside of the bodywork...)
Replace the gear... It is easy when it comes off...Somitimes they are stuck. Ive seen 2 off these in the last couple off years. They couldnt get the gear off so they tried to remove it using a screwdriver. Guess who won...
Also have a heatgun ready when the gear is stuck.. 5 minutes heating and 2 screwdrivers and the gear will be loose.
Replace timingbeld!
