ok, you turbo swapped the car? is that the idea? or just swapped the manifolds?(dunno how thats possible lol)

Well, I would first check ALL the connections to the AFM and verify that its not seized up, stuck in some way, or tipped horribly off level.

After that I would try jumpering the fuel pump test connector (yellow, two prong plug with a rubber boot located near the right {passenger} strut tower) then try to start it.

keep looking it sounds like its the problem.....or at least worth a shot anyways.

But, was this an actual turbo swap?? I don't see a turbo motor listed in you mods, only turbo manifolds and exhaust? along with a turbo computer? Im curious how you managed to fit 4 port manifolds on a 6 port engine.

its basiacally just porting to match the 4port onto the 6 port. I dont know myself but i got the manifolds off of some guys that have done this 6port turbo conversion on the forum.

ok ok ok...not to get TOO far off track here but I really have no idea what you've got on your car, it seems to change a little with each post.

So this is a turbo'd N/A engine?

Which manifold(s) are you using from the turbo car? UIM? or UIM and LIM?

Because comparison of the 6 port block and 4 port LIM would suggest a HUGE vaccum leak is yuor problem. Same with a 4 port UIM to 6 port LIM.

Not to be a dick - I just seriously cannot grasp what the heck you have under yuor hood because Im getting incomplete info.

As I've said to you in many PMs, do you have:

Fuel?
Spark at the right time?

Have you listened to the injectors click during cranking?
Is the AFM plugged in and still good?
Any huge vacuum leaks (TID?)?
