Stumpted... Car wont start
So long story sort It was driving fine on the way home from work, didn't push the motor at all, when I got home I parked it and it sat for about 2 days. When I went to go start it up again car sounded like it was running on only one rotor. Motor is not blown because I have blowen my motor and its not, but it sure sounds blown. Just recently got tuned by Steve Kan so I dont think I would have broke it, plus i wasn't driving it hard. So I thought it was my spark plugs, changed them, still wont start. Also sometimes it does start my sounds like one rotor, or both then the other starts to stop firing. Is there anything I could check before I need to call my mechanic. Thanks.

Might want to check fuel supply if you haven't already. Fuel pump, filter or a faulty injector. Filter might be full of ghoo specially if you ride around with gas tank on min. I've changed those tanks before and they are full of SH*% at the bottom.

parked two days?.. you could be "flooded'"..check the plugs see if they are wet..if they are ..clean them..pull the EGI fuse and roll the engine over 30 seconds..then put your plugs back in Correctly ..put the fuse back in and turn the key..The reason I say flooded is that you said two days..and if you happen to have a leaky injector then fuel stays in the housing ..you go to start and it wipes the spark out..

Well when it did start there was a lot of white smoke. My machanic says it might be flooded due to the rich tune by steve and my 1600cc injectors. When I changed out the sparkplugs they were kind of wet but I dont think of fuel, looked real dark. Thanks. I thought it would be the ignition but my machinic doesn't think so by what I've told him. And I did change the spark plugs.

As for fuel, the fuel pressure regulater is working properly and says that fuel pressure is fine. Got no idea. I might try to clean it out by the way misterstyx69 mentioned. The only thing I did diffrent is install a custom subwuffer in the trunk.

I wouldn't know why it would just go out like that, if it was the coil. This is what Im working with.

Clean. I assume well maintained.
Electrical components are fickle beasts. They don't need a reason to go out (unlike mechanical components, especially so well maintained).
