microtech wont start

i check my wiring on the bosch leading coil, the yellow and yellow black goes to neg and pos comes fromt he battery, the cas is wired according to wire colors, red with red, green with green, blue with white/black, yellow with white. im out of ideas why the car wont start, on the software on my laptop i dont see the rpm move at all. pls help me!!! been down for so long, and i still cant figure it out. do i need the plugs that came with teh stock wiring behidn the glove compartment for the windshield wipers and other misc stuff for the car to start? cuz those arent plugged in.

you need to see if the orange light is flashing when cranking, why is the red light flashing, that is a error, check the error logs and if the orange light is flashing

Are you sure it's the ignition side? Maybe no fuel?

there is a master fuel adjustment called MIXtrm or something. That would do it, but you should check to see if you have spark for sure. If you think it might be too rich, you can adjust the crank map.

yep but you still haven't checked for spark? just because the light is flashing doesn't mean there is spark.

if the light on the unit is flashing that means the unit is getting the signal from the cas , now you have to check if the unit is sending signal out to the coils , if yes thenyou need to check power to coils . but if you dont have a signal from unit to coils that means the unit is not functioning right for some reason.
so check output signal from unit to coils

The only way the car seems like it "wants" to start, is when there is gas and spark present...
