I suggest you check the igniter itself, a good ground for the igniter (the bracket is the ground...not the best), and the wires from the igniter to the coils (correct order too).

wait wut ?? igniter to coils in order ?? what do you mean ?? i originally had the spark plug wires from the coil to the plugs 1-5-3-6-2-4 from left to right on the coils, but searching on the forums, i found out that it is 16 34 25 so i changed it yesterday and i got the code 14, so i m guessing the computer got confused and gave me this code so i remove the EFI 15a fuse for 30 secs and now its gone, so i m about to go try it and see if it' starts up.

There's 3 connectors on the coil pack end from the igniter...there's a specific order. The longest goes to the most distant coil, middle connector to middle coil, etc. It should be very difficult to get this wrong, but you never know around here ;)

Do check the igniter wires to each coil, you may have bumped one loose when you changes spark plug wire order.

Ok, after checking everything, i've been getting this weird noise from the motor everytime i tired to start the car. ignition and all the other things are fine.
This is the video noise, it sounds like something is holding the motor down or something.



This is with the EFI 15A fuse out. This is how the motor should sound like when it is trying to start.




Also this wire in not connected, it suppose to connect to the top of the tranny but i've never dropped a tranny so i didn't want to mess anything up.

Your CPS is off by 180 Degrees. It's firing the wrong cylinders.

What you need to do is this.

Step 2

You're Welcome.

Simple Explanation: It needs to be set to the point where you cylinder one is about to fire, as opposed to dead. ;)

You may also want to get a timing light and see where you stand ignition timing wise.

this thread is pretty funny. but we've all been there. love the pic of the dangling wires. lol. I didn't bother to read the whole thing. Maybe if I stumble across it later or if you tell us what happened I might. glad to see it's running now.:biglaugh:

well basically, i took the cps out and put the piston to TDC by taking the oil cap off and looking at the oval thing pointing upwards and then installed everything back on, cps and wirings and shit and turned the key and boom, fired up right away, to cranking it or anything. sounds very nice and everything i m very happy, just in time for CHI2k8 Ahaha. so yea. thanks everyone for the help. ill try to post a video up in the build thread which needs to be updated now.
