FCD help, no start Issue
I recently installed a S4 FCD for my 88 T2. By recently i mean at noon today.
The problem is that it wont start back up, it will crank, the pump runs, but it wont catch. I changed my nasty plugs out with brand new at 4pm after i got off of work.
A bit about the car now. The engine has 12k on the Landers rebuild, with a streetport, exhaust is 3" piping from the turbo mani to the stock Y-pipe and stock cans. She had a cold start issue this morning, requiring several minutes of cranking before she would fire, and the oil and filter were just changed last weekend, Royal purple 10w40 and a mobile1 filter.
I installed the FCD without the battery disconnected, not sure if that has anything to do with it, but every lil detail helps. Battery is a brand new Optima Redtop, all fuses seemed to be in good shape and teh fuel pump is stock but rewired, Walbro 255 ready to drop in.
Give me some leads guys i need to get her home

Plugs were changed one a time with the wires going back on after each plug. The car had gotten me all the way to work without a problem, I parked it as usual and shut it down, stereo power off first then key off, after letting it idle for 10 minutes in the parrking lot. Shut it down and went in to work at 7, came out to put the FCD on and no go at noon.

OK, had another go at it again today, ruled out the coil packs. Its getting spark, its getting air, however im unsure that its getting fuel. I can hear my pump attempting to run(its straight wired to a toggle switch and fuse) but no sign of wanting to fire up.
