MS all wired in this afternoon, but it's a non-starter. It has a base map from Ant, it cranks, does a quick spark then dies.

Any ideas? I need the car for the morning. :(

I am no expert but if you have crank and spark the one left is injection?
is the fuel pump wired in ok?
double/triple check all your electrical connections
i have read how alot of ms intalls dont work first run and so many times is down to a loose wire - do a search on msefi or e30tech.

logs recieved.

DO what I've suggested( text mssg) and get back to me asap.

if the rpm display is reading zero, then the car will not run M8

do you have coolant temp etc etc displayed on the laptop ? in the correct sense ??? does TP, match that shown for TPS ?

100% wiring related, they always are

I think I wired up the VR sensor incorrectly and connected to the yellow wire to the blue wire and grounded the red one, I should have connected it to the VR sensors earth wire.

But now i'm struggling, the car runs a bit rough for 30-120 seconds then dies. Any ideas on whats going on?
