Car won't start!!!!
So I got my ECU today and finished it up and found out there was no fuel pressure. Ended up having the lines to the fuel pump backwards. After that made sure it had oil pressure. Then started it. It started had a very loopy idle, wanted to die. Reved it up a little bit to see what happened and then the car died right after hitting about 2lbs of boost. Tried to start it back up and nothing. Found out it's not getting any spark. I have no idea what it could be. I put brand new spark plugs in during the turbo install and gapped them at .030. A check engine light is on for the idle air control system. Tried deleting it but it would go away.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm so worn out from it and can't think of anything.

Setup consists of:
t25 u13
370cc injectors
walbro fuel pump
stock DE MAF setup as blow thru
3" downpipe
Calum ECU
3 Bar fuel pressure

I IM'd you, no wonder you didn't answer back!

This is why you have to do things in steps so you can route problems as they come up... at this point it could be anything.

hit me on aim.

check the ignition system, i had a problem like this, ended up being the distributor optical sensors went bad....but i would start weeding out the iginiton parts that are good

i just don;t know why something would go bad, everything worked before i put the turbo on.
it has brand new plugs, cap and rotor.

Did you plug in both of the idle controls after you swapped manifolds? Did you set the TPS with a volt meter?

swiss theres 3 plugs at the end of the manifold, i noticed 1 was unplugged and i plugged it in and it did nothing. the tps has both plugs connected on it and i have yet to try the tps, but i will. the whole thing though is there is no spark even at the distributor.

Check the ignitor. Also make sure the ECU is plugged in right.
