Still wont start so there is still another issue. No errors on the ECM so thats good. The tune that Accel gave me should be good for startup so gotta start checking everything out.

I bought my intake and throttle body used so I'm wondering if any of the TB sensors are bad. I never replaced them but now I'm wishing I did.

The other thing could be the forced timing could be off. I hope I dont have to go thru pulling the dist and going back thru the whole TDC thing again.
cool, progress. As far as the sensors, you do have tuning software I hope?? TPS should show as a %. With the key on and not touching the throttle it should show as a low %, and should evenly increase as you push the throttle pedal. The map should show around 100 kpa or so without running and key on, depending on your altitude. Go through your config settings again and make sure you've entered the correct map, tps % for idle, injector size, ignition type, etc.

Does your voltage drop much when cranking? Ideally it will stay near 12 volts, if it's below 11 or so it can throw a lot of stuff off making it hard to fire.
