Car will not start, not sure what to do

Ok, well this was about a week ago, I took off the UIM/LIM, to get to my turbo manifold (wastegate swap), after everything was all put together I started her up, she started right up, but was burning some oil (from the turbo?), so I immediately shut her off, so the ppl around here won't bitch. I tried starting her late at night, and nothing. Only things I did different were: added some oil/coolant, and replaced the battery. After I couldnt get it started, I replaced: plugs, plug wires, injectors, and triple checked the fuel lines. Everything good, Im getting spark. What im not sure of, if its flooding, or not getting fuel? When I take out a plug, I smell a combination of fuel/oil on it. Someone said to check the water thermo sensor behind the filler neck, it was at 2.7ohms, and no resistance from the lead and wire. Anyone know wtf is going on?

Also before all this, the car started up fine every time, ran rich, but ok. I also tried unflooding, nothing? Im going to check the thermo sensor itself

one more thing. My primary injectors measured 13 and 20ohms. secondaries were 2.7ohms. Is this right? Can u program it to have different resistances on secondaries/primaries??

turn the ignition on and use the microtech to monitor the sensors. just check them all and make sure that u are getting good inputs. i dont really know if you can run different resistance injectors, but i dont see why not...

if you smell fuel on the plug, it is most likely flooded.

did you pull the CAS?
sure you have all the wires in the right place?

if nothing else, pull it all apart again and then just put it back together carefully in case you missed somethign last time.

update: well she starts up everytime now. 2nd time i started her, it seemd like she was only running on one rotor, or some of the plugs werent firing? also i put in 1600cc injectors, and it doesnt go past 4k? ha i guess she needs a little more tuning
