Adaptronic not wanting to play ball with LC-2

I just finished my rebuild/build of my 93FD and can't get the car to stay running anymore. It started and idled fine for the first few days drove it around for 50 miles breaking it and the clutch in then my wideband dropped its cal and started showing full rich. Re-calibrated it still no joy on accurately reading and now no start. Pulled the plugs they where very fouled cleaned them off stuck them back in and nothing it tries to start revs to 1500 then quickly dies. Reloaded the base map changed all of the settings for the injectors, flex fuel sensor, and wideband and still nothing. It just cranks.

Here is a list of everything done
All new housings and side plates with new Mazda apex and sides and pineapple racing HD seals kit
Large pineapple racing street port intake and exhaust
Down pipe and mid pipe with stock cat back
Cool air intake
BNR Stage 3 twins with the new bearings
Stock intercooler(Pettit racing cool charge III on the way)
Intake is gasket matched upper and lower
Sakebomb aem coils wired for waist spark with 9s for both trailing and leading
Comp clutch Lightweight flywheel
Act stage 2 clutch
FFE fuel system ID 1000 primaries 1700 secondaries
Supra fuel pump -6AN beaded SS Teflon lines from the pump
Fuel lab regulator set to 45psi
Upgraded Turbo Solenoids
3 port Mac Valve plumed for version 2
Sake bomb oil cooler kit with 25 row coolers
Musimotto radiator
Still have power steering and A/C
Adaptronic select ECU
Engine is studded 16 10.5MM studs
The other stuff is suspension and brakes so not related to the engine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated I am new to the site with posting but have been reading almost every post related to what I've done. I have pictures of most of what I did I may make a build thread if I feel frisky.

Seriously, Mark and Andy will get you squared away.

Fixed it

I figured it out with reading and searching some other forums as well as this one.
First I got rid of all the excess connections in the LC-2 to ECU serial connection by using the Innovate 3812 Cable.
Than I recalibrated the sensor on the advice of tech support at Innovate.
That got the ecu reading the wideband accurately.

After that headache I Pulled all of the plugs again and replaced them with fresh 7s and 9s instead of 4 9s
To get the car started again I reloaded the base map provided with WARI but did not use the custom trigger settings for the stock system and simply used the lock trigger settings feature. I set all of the dead times for the ID 1000s and the ID 1700s as well as the dwell times for the AEM coils. And finally I pulled some of the cranking fuel. It fired right up and has been running and idling great ever since. It is running very rich right now tho and on my first tank in the car I got an astounding 9 MPG thank god gas is cheap in the states again.

I did initially have the ICV removed and blocked off but after reading a lot of Andy's post and information on idling I decided it was best to reinstall it. I am glad I did.

All is now well and I am letting it tune as I break the motor/clutch in the rest of the way.
