Alright, car wont start. Gonna check for spark now, its either that or ECu isnt giving signal to fire injectors. Fuel pump turns on, motor turns over, no start.

Throw some ideas at me, Im trying stuff out now.

Bad Ignitor, spark plugs,, coilpacks, check for all good grounds. ECU. thats all I can think of. CAS maybe.

If your ecu is priming your fuel pump, it's priming your injectors as they work hand in hand. Did you actually check for spark or spray some starter fluid to see if you can get some response? Once you've done that and still no-go, move the ignitors plug around to see if you can get a response. You need to determine which of the needed ingredients you're lacking (ie spark, fuel, ecu assistance). Do some of these things and get back to us.

Alright boost boy, heres the update.

car runs! WOOT!

now for the rest of the story. I have 444cc injectors currently on the car, and they sat out for quite a while. car idles, when you go to give it more gas, it stumbles and dies. Putting a little bit of gas into the manifold it will rev fine. I dont have stock injectors, and my SAFC isnt hooked up yet. Shouldnt the injectors make the car run rich, not starve the motor for fuel?

Spark is good.
