Default Converted from OBD2-OBDI with boost and now car wont start

Ok. Setup: 99 Civic Si turbo. Previously using VAFC to control 450cc injectors.
T3/T4e 50 trim, 7.5psi, 450cc injectors.

I picked up Uberdata, got the chip burner and everything, and began to chip the ECU. I am confident i soldered in all necessary resistors and chips. I burned a GSR boost map.

So I connected the ECU to the car and tried to start it. Just cranked.... so i was fiddling with the ECU plugs to make sure they were tight (which they seemed to be). Tried again, and this time it started, idle was a bit high and CEL was on. (I don't think the wiggling of the plugs had anything to do with it). I then realized my VAFC was still connected, and correcting fuel. So I turned off the car, and disconnected the VAFC.

Now the car just cranks and cranks and cranks. Sounds like its not getting spark, but I cannot verify because no one else is here to crank the car.

Can anyone point me toward what I should check for?

Thanks,
Kevin

EDIT: Also, for that short time when the car was started, (which was like 5 or 6 seconds before i killed it), the CEL was on.

Also if someone has a map for a setup similiar to this, that would be great if you could get it to me.

Fuses are good. Because i have to get to work, i put my VAFC back in and connected the stock ECU. WOrks.

My burner is a Willem Burner if that makes a difference. But i dont think it would.

What did you do with the MAP wire?

If you unplugged the vafc, you also unplugged the MAP wire.
