VA coolant map help?

Hey guys. I bought an rx with a custom turbo installed, along with a Haltech E6K engine management unit.

From what I've been reading, my bad.

Anyway, I've finally had the time to take a look at the thing. It's been parked for 2 months.

The car was in a heated garage when I picked it up. It started up flawlessly. Now it won't start at all. I can hear the starter cranking, and occasionally I'll get a little burst from the engine, but never enough to get going.

The original owner said that I needed to add fuel to the coolant map on the Haltech unit. I've messed around with this some, but it didn't seem to make a difference.

It drove like a dream all the home, drove halfway across the country to get it, and I would really like to get it going again. I'm relatively inexperienced with cars, so this will be a learning experience for me. Please be patient with me. I am trying very hard.

Haltech section would be better for this, but I'll try and help.
The engine should fire up right away. Be careful with the coolant map. That's for when the car is running. They might have meant primer map. When the engine is cold, it needs LOTS of fuel. On the E6k, try richening (add more) to the primer bars before the last 10. On mine my bars start on the left (bar 1) around 150, and linearize down to 10 around bar 24. All engines are different, but adding more fuel should help it fire immediately.

Thanks for the help! I'll try that asap. I'll also move this over the the haltech section. Sorry I missed that.
