Won't start!! Help please

Just got around to trying to start my turbo II and nothing!
All my sensors are reading the correct values but when I crank it the rpms are not reading anything. The computer flashed "reconnect haltech" as I'm cranking and when I stop it will flashed 60 rpm for a second. I'm boosting of another car so would low battery power be a problem? It's carnking pretty good but not as fast as it should. Not sure about spark, I'm by myself. I'll chsck tomorrow.



I'm using a base map from rx7.com for the set-up I have. It doesn't seem like I'm getting any fuel. I took out a plug and it was dry. The rail is full and pressurized though but I can't smell any fumes in the tail pipe.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Put a test lite, multimeter to the grey wire on the halteh loom. Crank the engine and observe if power is still on grey wire. if not find a wire on the ignition swith that has power when key is on run and also when key is on start position. Souds to me like the ignition is dropping power to the grey wire when cranking.

I think my battery is too weak. It was dead and I was boosting off my other car. I'm going to give it a good charge and if I have to I'll hard wire the gray wire to the battery to get it going.
Thanks

You put the ignition on wire onto the wrong place.&nbsp You tapped it on a lead that turns off during cranking - you cannot do this.&nbsp The Haltech needs to be on when the starter is cranking.&nbsp Find another wire that is hot both with key in ON *and* START positions.

Alright! Got it going,..but only for 10 seconds!!!
It starts, idles fine for about 10 seconds every time and then dies like you turned off the power.
I tinked with a few things but nothing. Could it be a fuel problem?

How is your idle? Is it crappy? Too much fuel maybe? If so, check your wires and spark plugs. The may be defective.
