car wont start 88 N/A

Seems like only 1 rotor is firing or maybe getting compression. I just had my injectors rebuilt and replaced most of the vacuum hoses

1 of the rotors died when I was turning left heading to work. I after I was all finished putting the injectors back in and all that I tried to start it and nothing, still sounds like only 1 rotor is working.

I pulled the plugs and all were wet and black (almost 2 years old) but the leading front rotor was dry, trailing was wet. Maybe something along those lines?

I haven't checked spark on all plugs so I'll try that tomorrow, plus replace my tps. Maybe that is the problem? But I'm pretty sure that has been broken for awhile.

Mods: full race exhaust, a msd CDI on leading coil, apexi neo AFC, cold air intake, and magnecore plug wires, and a little larger Bosch fuel pump.
•these have all been on for over a year at the least.

The most recent change I did was oil change from synthetic back to regular before that its been over a year for any significant changes

My guess is maybe some electrical part or sensor died and the timing is wrong for one of the rotors.

Also I haven't done a comp test, but did do the pull-the-plug-and-listen-for-the-psst-test. And front and rear rotors sounded the same consistency, but the rear kinda sounded lower pitch, and probably lower pressure. Could that mean side seals?

take the Neo off and try it stock.
I have seen guys running SAFC and Neo's..a lot of them get problems.Then they post and ask why.

The neo would have no effect if the parameters haven't been changed through it but I would double check all your soldered connections

Ok so the plugs are black and caked with oil. From cranking after I got the injectors back in. Haven't checked the neo solder spots yet.
