Default check engine light car wouldn't start

i've been turboed for a bout a month now...but then last week i tried to start the car and the check engine light lid up and the car will crank and not start...i'm running dsm 450 injectors and a resistor box.....i tried to jump the ecu but the check engine light will not flash, doesn't seem to give a code...i've also tried to check several things; there is spark, wirings are fine, grounding is fine, but there seems to no fuel because there is no clicking noise...any help will be great thanks

check if the fuel pump prime when u turn the key to power up without starting the engine.
check fuse, try to hot wire the pump see ii it runs, if it does check the PGMFI relay

To my knowledge, THE CEL/SES light should allways come on before you start the car, when it doesn't, that's when you should be worried,

Check to see if you have any injector pulse, ( check the wiring to the injectors, ground test light, probe one of the injector wires )

You need to check fuel pump operation, see if there is any whine from the fuel pump, or just go bash on the gas tank with a hammer while some one cranks the key,

is the motor spining faster than normal ? pull oil cap and have some one crank..see if you can see the rocker arms moving while cranking,

Could be a number of things,
