Alright, new developments. I actually got the car started with the starter today. All I did was hold the accelator right to the floor it started up after a bit of cranking. This only works when the car is dead cold. I noticed another thing, my advanced warm up system isnt working, infact I have to hold the throttle for a few minutes or it will stall right out on me. I always assumed that it wasnt functioning because I was bump starting it, apparantly I was wrong. If I energize the solenoid with a 12v source will I hear this click on and off??
Ok.
This is flooding, plain and simple.
Holding down the gas pedal causes the OMP to inject oil into the chambers while cranking, It takes a few revolutions to create compression so it can start.
Do a compression check and have your injectors serviced.
There is a trick us TII guys do by pulling the fuel pump fuse and cranking the motor over. It starts right up and then dies. pop the fuse back in and then the car starts. I believe the problem ties into low compression and/or a bad set of programming in the stock ecu. This almost never happens in cars with standalone ECU's unless the compression is REALLY bad. Give it a shot.

Worked for me too on an NA - except I always pulled both of the fuel injection fusable links in the engine bay. If this works, you can do a search for the fuel pump cutoff switch instructions on this site and fix yourself up short term, and get your injectors cleaned to help better long term.
