Yesterday i took everything apart and cleaned it up(intercooler piping, cleaned up the wires a bit, reran the vacum lines, spark plugs...etc..) I get in my car to start it and i got nothing. But if i wait like 5 hours i get a little spark and tries to start but immetiely shuts off and then it just turns over and i got nothing. I know i got gas and spark. Also my ignitor pack has a crack on the top of the box and i did move that around to get to the plugs. Maybe it finaly went bad? I dont know...please help.

thanks, Jordan

Probably something simple like an unhooked sensor (CAS, etc). Double check all your connections again.

Does the starter turn over?Do you get fuel (plugs are wet/smell like fuel)?Do you get spark?Is the battery charged?

check to see that the alignment tang on the cas wasnt broken off and that you stabbed it wrong.

I thinkI have a similar problem. Is it the fuse by the two green relays under the hood?

Just as a quick note, if the ignitor box has any kind of deformities there is a good chance it is trash (80% of the time)..
