Default car started, idled. then wont start again,...

hey guys, i finished installing everything, b16a2 1000cc injectors hondata, (map courtesy of inline pro) and first time in a year started up new engine.. i did everything, i mean everything from top to bottom.. anyway
after making sure everything is good i went to start the motor, at first wouldnt start. then after a few seconds and playing with the timing, i got it to run,,. then to my surprise it was idling quite good .. i let it ran a few mins. shut it off to check everything out.. then went to restart the car. and it wont kick over.. any ideas???

Won't turn over, or won't start?

it cranks and cranks but wouldnt start.... like i said ran fine for a about 3 mins but then i shut it off to make sure nothing was leaking and stuff.. and make sure i had oil getting to turbo.. but after that it just cranked and wouldnt start.. i didnt set timing yet, cause i havent had it running long enough to set timing...

check for the basics, fuel, spark etc. then that will guide you (and us) what to do next.

Pull the plugs, they are probably soaked with fuel.

There isn't just one 1000cc hondata base map, so it really depends on the particular basemap. I would turn it down to 30 or less to try to get it started. Like I said, PULL THE PLUGS first. This will tell you alot.

is that it did idle for like 4 mins. fine.. i just need it to run so i can get it up out to inline to do a little tuning.. hp goals around 450whp

Couldn't have said it better myself. The best advice I can give is this: when you ask for advice and somebody gives it to you, take it.

k today ran car this morning, (total time i had my car running since its been back together has been about 12 mins).. i ran for like 3 mins.. shut it off. and once again wasnt able to restart teh car. i pulled plugs and they are black.. so i guess i'm flooding the engine. my fuel pressure is at aprox.. 35psi.. but dont know what else to do to get it to restart after ran.. i had the base map made by inline pro for 1000cc injectors... so i dont understand. what i can do until i get down there for some tuning. also i wanna make sure its running alright before i go down there, since its an 8 hour drive..
