Car Won't Start after Non-Sequential

This past weekend I got rid of the airpump, did poor man's non-sequential, installed and intake. After doing that, it was very hard to start the car and I didn't get any boost. The vacuum was fine. Now the car won't start at all. It doesn't even try to. I've gone over the hose diagram and they all look fine...but for the life of me I can't figure out why the car won't start now. What are some other things to check or other suggestions?

Thanks in advance

You obviously did something wrong. Check for fuel and spark. It is probably just flooded. Unflood it and see if it starts again. Your plugs also might be fouled. There are lots of things that can be messed up.

Well theres your problem!

Check all your fuses and important electrical connectors. Check to see if you have any ECU codes. Are you sure you don't have fuel OR spark? How did you check?

ha sorry I'm kinda drunk. I have fuel and spark, but it's not flooded because the spark plugs don't smell like fuel.

Still running stock ECU? Did you install a BOP kit? Did you remove the cat? How does it sound when you try to start it?

Stock ECU
No BOP Kit
No cat
Just won't turn over.

Here's the DIY I followed and I've gone over it twice and can't find a problem: http://www.nopistons.com/forums/inde...0&hl=poor+mans

What did you do about your pipes going from the airpump to the ACV?

You mean these guys?

Nada. Should they be capped? Not sure how that would keep the car from cranking.
