to add on to my description above
i removed both the relay and fuse for the egi,
then when i turn it onto accessories (not kicking it over) the leads arc out to the block?
WTF the egi isnt in and the car is only getting turned to accessories why is it trying to spark?

the car wont fire unless the EGI is good and in place. I had a problem w/ my alternator wires shorting out and it was blowing the egi fuse until I fixed the wiring. Are you seeing the yellow light on the microtech flash w/ the ignition pulses or are you getting a redlight? (lt8 series).

The EGI is for your fuel control, not ignition:
I'm assuming the Microtech isn't changing any of that functionality, so in that case you aren't going to get any fuel when cranking it without the EGI in place (i.e. one reason why removing will help de-flood the car). Are you saying that the engine won't even turn without the EGI plugged in?

You should hear an audible loud clicking sound when you turn the key.
