I just finish installing a Seth Ingram FFIM with out Isc im also running a Q45 TB, but it wont start. I could hear the fuel rail hissin but the engine will not even attempt to start, can some one please help? I wired up the q45 tps to my harness could that be one of my problems, what getting me is that it wont even try to turn over.

please help.

Check to see if you have the 12v on red wire going to the starter and also that the other little signal wire going to the starter is connected.

Cheers,

Check to see ir you have spark?
If you have a timing light just hook it up. If the ignition system is firing okay that the light should flash...
If you dont have a timin light, pull out spark # 1, hook the spark lead on, hold it close to a ground and see if you can see a spark.

Cheers,
Roy

Did this happen after you installed the ffim? If so did you adjust the throttle plate to allow just a little bit of air in, since you dont have an isc you have to compensate. Adjust your tps and check voltage there.

Make sure all the grounds are attached too. There are a couple that go to the stock mani, and if you didnt re-ground them, it wont start....

^Bingo! They are main cpu grounds. No groundy, no starty...
What if yur running AEM and not the stock ecu?

I have my two ground bundles hanging, its on the list to make sure I mount them to my mani, but its wierd that the car wont start unless they are grounded there...

Im a few paces behind you, so I havent tried starting yet, but, before I do, Im going to make a long check list to go over before cranking... My biggest concern is making sure I have my Q45 wired properly... The rest of the wiring, IMO, is pretty cake... But that Q45 makes me nervous... However, there are several people using it now, so Im sure if I have an issue, I can find the solution...

Dude, one thing I would DEFINATELY check out is your CPS... 1st, make sure it is installed correctly at TDC, and 2nd, make sure you have NO loose or broken wires at the connection... I actually had to tow my supra home once because she died at a gas station... I looked all over that bay, and she just would NOT start... Then, finally, mad as hell, I threw a rag at her and it just happen to hit the CPS clip and a wire popped off... I pushed the wire back in, hmmmm, i wonder? Hoped in the car, turned the key, TAH DAH! Magic! The car started right up, no problem! Something THAT friggin simple killed my car and cost me a tow bill...
