Compression, Spark, Fuel pressure. but no ignition....

Well I'm finally done final assembly, and it only took a few months shy of 4 years (rolleyes) to complete

SO i go to start it and nothing, not a sputter,a put, nada. Just cranks like a champ. I have 38psi static fuel pressure., nice and fat spark.also the engine is fresh (aka has not been started yet) but even after giving it 3-4 trys to start when I pulled a plug there is no sign/smell of gas which is leading me to believe i turned off the injectors in the haltech. but my laptop wont connect to my haltec. When I click y to connect it doesn't connect, just sits on the 0-100% and nothing. But the thing that gets me is it worked b4, i was able to set up the tps and also checked engine rpm under cranking (2= years ago). so just wondering if anyone has any ideas to what the hell could be wrong.
But everything else checks out oil pressure, fuel is fresh i drained the tank and put all fresh fuel in.plugs are new

basics of what were done in the past 4 years- New engine built by ITO,haltech E6K, Custom single using the TO4s from the XS kit, apex front mount, and quite a few other things but starting is the last step


PLEASE HELP ME I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER!!!!!!!!

It’s ok I figured you were busy. It just annoying to finally be done putting it together and then to have it not start but I’ve waited this long another couple days wont kill me.

Keith,

On may first or after?
Just want to know if I should be ready for it to run Sunday or Tuesday morning J

I wish it was not the end of the month or I would just go buy a old laptop (stupid work). O-well everyone I know owns newer computers, go figure….

Hope that Majestic did a good job rebuilding it, hope it was only that factory crap that sucked
