I checked the firing order 3x and the order is correct, thats the 1st thing I thought. Today while cranking it over, it went pop pop pop, like it was trying to start, but didnt.
I pulled the plugs and they were wet with fuel.
Im gonna do a compression test, and check spark on each plug. The battery needs to be charged, so Im doing that as I type this.
The IC pipes have to be mocked up and I got to get another clutch pedal.

The first time I tried to start my car after installing the turbo setup, it wouldn't start. I'd been through some fuel management issues before that, so I figured that was the problem still, so i spent hours going through, checking each wire and resoldering everything, still didn't work. Then I charged the battery :1

lol Being that I got a big group 24 battery, which is fairly new, Im sure that was not the issue. There have been so many parts that were changed, so its a little more involved to diagnose what exactly is happening. Im gonna start with the basics, and move on from there, the problem will clarify itself, and a solution will be made. I am persistent, but I do appreciate other peoples' input.

OK I checked all the connections and they look secure. The car starts after sitting overnite, but stalls after 3-4 sec.
The plugs were wet when I pulled them out.
The car is not throwing any codes, but when I use the jumper the CEL stays lit and dosent flash. (OBD0-OBD1 convrsn)

Its supposed to stay lit when you have no codes and you jump it.

Clean your plugs with a torch if youve got one. Try again.

You did get a basemap for your 550's right ?
