I installed a single turbo, removed the solenoids, isc, fast idle etc...loaded in a very good base map similar to mine in most respects. didn't want to start, flooded really bad and had a fuel leak, turned out it was a stuck secondary injector, got them cleaned by RCengineering down the street from my house, threw em' in and she fired to life.

So i started the car, Yay! fast idle, boo. But at least it was running. So i started adjusting the tas and aas and it barely changed anything. Started to adjust the fast idle screw, started seeing some changes, got it to lower but now it wont start at all. I then remembered I disabled the fast idle cam, and I felt like an indiot because I didn't wire it back. Wired it back, thinking its gonna run normal and......nothin.

Its really odd too because it was a high idle issue, and I had it running multiple times for 5-10 mintues trying to make adjustments, figure out whats wrong, and then it doesn't start at all now. so i started digging through threads. Not a great help unfortunatly.

A good friend of mine came over and has been helping for a couple of days, he has a fd as well(his runs great btw...bad for me lol). We break out the fsm and go through evrything, heres a quick rundown:
Cas- both good
TPS-narrow is good/.1 out of spec full range(probably because i adjusted the tb prematurely.
Map-test suggest good but fsm wants vehicle warm and running
Ignitor, dont have the STS required, swapped out a known functioning one, still no start.
Coils-all within spec

plugs-all 9's and new, only 1 hour run time at high the 1800 idle spoke of earlier, but i cleaned them very well, burnt off any extra fuel with lighter, etc. When we jumped the spark however it looked weak, not blue as expected, more yellowish. is it possible the wires are bad since its weak spark? how much resistance should there be in plug wires? I've read other threads where people have messed up plugs really fast even though they looked fine, i can try new plugs i suppose. Doubt its it though.

Fuel pump-removed line, jumped it, pumps like mad.
injectors-pulled the primaries, but my bat was low by then so i need to check again. Only test not 100% positive so far but will complete for peace of mind.

Since i made those throttle body adjustments, I copied the other fd to get a "base" setup(mine wasn't off too much ahyway), still no start.

Also, i swapped the stock ecu back in to pull codes, nothing showed that didnt make sense, only codes of the items removed for the single install.

So now I need to check the injectors to be sure, its hard to see them getting stuck shuck all the sudden though.

Check the plug wires for resistance.

Is there anyway to check my pfc just to make sure.

I'm thinking i just made a wrong adjustment on the throttle body maybe, is there a base settings somewhere or something like that. I didn;t see it in the fsm.

Thanks for any help/advice, I usually can find/fix stuff myself but this ones got me stumped so far. thanks again

Btw...one of the first tests i did was a compression test, 110rear, 106 front

so, have you check to make sure you have spark? Sound like you've checked all the spark components but you havent really verify to see if you have spark.

True, i am assuming at this point its ok, it was weaker than thought it should be but then again i've never tested it before.

I have chucks tuning notes so i'm gonna go through the throttle body setup.

I also wanted to thank Trainwreck on this forum for his help and loading the single map for me. As well as FD3S4life for his help, their knowledge has been extremely helpful.
