hey float or anyone, i installed a dsm resistor pack today and the injectors are now reading that they have power......the car acts like it wants to run...it fires when you crank it but as soon as take the key from the crank to the run position it dies.... im not exactly sure what it is...... could it be timing? i changed the timing belt when i got the motor if it were off by a tooth would it cause this? any help would....well help

Yes, it would do exactly that. Have you tried giving it any throttle to see if it will try and run?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, doing the timing belt isn't hard to do, it's just easy to screw up.
