Need help getting FD started in GA

I need help getting my engine started for first time. I have everything hooked up right that I know of. When I try turning the key to the Acc position, everything lights up. When I try to start it, nothing happens. I can hear a click from the engine bay, but the engine doesn't even try to turn over. I had the starter tested and it pass just fine. If I wire the starter directly to the battery it will turn but won't turn over. I'm using the stock ECU to start it and get it broken in, then I'm going to put in a brand new PFC that I have waiting in my room. Hoping someone is willing to set a day up and come over and help me get my car running. Any takers? I'm in the Marietta/Kennesaw area.

Mods:
Small Bridge port
3mm seals
Downpipe
ACT clutch/Flywheel

email me...dubulup@gmail.com I'll help out, but you need to find a half bridge map for the power FC, load it, and install it, as the stock ECU won't inject enough fuel or have the correct timing...as you've changed the port timing of your engine.

Clutch switch?

Sounds exactly like my old FC.

I ended up bypassing the clutch switch, and then it cranked every time.

Where in Marietta are you? I live in Woodstock.

I'm planning on getting my FD on Monday. Maybe we can meet up.

e-mail me if you want to meet up?

Funny thing is, we tested that too and it checked out fine. I'm off Exit 3(Chastain Rd) from 575

Even if you get it to crank and fire with the stock ECU, I doubt it will hold idle.

a small bridge will want to idle around 1200 +/- 200rpms and pull ~12 +/- 3in-hg. The stock fuel/ign maps won't have an idle setting for those areas, especially with 0% throttle position.

Find a HBP map and install your pfc.


stock twins too...I take it???
