the pfc's are pretty rugged. its doubtful that it went bad. maybe check your map sensor lead? thats pretty well known for causing issues like this. was the pfc on the old motor? was it tuned? is it just brand new with base tune?

got the commander? Go to the etc and then sensor/switches...anything lit up or highlighted? Even though you haven't been on boost, you have it set for non-sequential in the ETC section again?

Since the old man isn't really in the know, it wasn't a PFC it was another stand alone. I'm (Chas) having trouble getting the support I need for it, so know the choice is (and what should of been done in the first place) go with something tried and true. I would like to test a pfc first just to make we don't spend a grand on something that doesn't work.

I am pretty sure the ecu is whats keeping it from running since eveything seems to be working....spark, fuel, compression, and all the controls work. I just can't tell if the timming is even close to being right and after not driving the car for 9 months I'm ready to take the simple but just as safe route.

Thanks in advance,
Chas

Wouldn't a stock ECU work just to get the car started (ie. not to drive)?

what ems is it? the power fc tied to datalogit IS tried and true. . . just remember that. . . and it has an abundance of tuners available, since it is the most common ecu for our car.
