do you have your stock ecu? have you tried starting it on that to see if it has to do with your tune/settings in the pfc?

If he installed low inpendent injectors that would be a bad idea. Since it would burn the injector driver module out of the ecu in a quick hurry.

You're letting tintmasters work on it??? They're not a bad bunch of guys but I wouldn't let them anywhere near a rotary.

you guys are probably right. but after working on all summer and not having the proper facilities, i got tired of it. But no, i have not tried it with the stock ecu. I figured it would have been a bad idea with 850/1680 primary/secondary injectors. i read throught the PFC manual and did all the proper settings for the new injectors. The nice thing about the PFC is that it already has a decent map. Ill wait until i switch to a single turbo then take it down to steve. My goal right now is just to get it running. But i tell you what, any of you local guys want to help me out or just want to look at it and give me some suggestions, im all for it.

What have you done? You completely fixed the wiring harness that was burnt? Do you have fuel, do you have spark? And how is the "Steve" you speak of that you will take your car down to once you switch to a single turbo?

Ok, Im sorry I wasnt clear. All i did was a visual check on the wire harness. now, to me there looked as if there was no damage done to the harness itself. I took the car in after I had the fire so they could tell me whether or not the harness is still good.

Yes I have a spark and I am getting fuel. I know this because I can smell the fuel and the engine is combusting but just not all the way (that point where it almost starts). But I think my spark is too weak. Maybe i need to invest in the HKS twin power.

and by steve, Yes I mean Steve Kan. My plan was to go to St. Louis or Chicago the next time he is up and have him tune my car after the single is installed.
If I have made any mistakes, or if anyone knows what else to do, let me know. Im not an idiot around rotorys but Im not a genious either.

you have fuel and you have spark? have you checked each wire individually to make sure you don't have a coil pack out? If those are both fine have you checked the firing order. if you have fuel and spark, I'd say check our firing sequence, and your pfc settings again. just a couple ideas.
