Default HELP! Turbo started and idled fine! Then it wont start again!!

So I finished installing the turbo onto the teg. Got a basemap to run the 440 injector.

Started up the car and it idled and warmed up fine. Went to shut off the car to start it up again and it wont start up. Dont know wat it can be.

I noticed my fuel pressure was low. Can low fuel pressure affect car starting up? I have a AEM FPR to adjust it if need be. Bad injectors? Bad Fuel pump? Bad Basemap?

Help me!!

did you check all of the eletrical connections to verify that they are all solid and clean connections?is it throwing a check engine light? what exactly is it doing as far as not starting, is it turning over and just not firing off?

It is cranking, just not turning over. I have a check engine light cuz I didnt install the exhaust yet.

Its funny cuz it started up and now it wont.

check your timing belt to be sure it didnt skip some teeth.....

listen for the fuel pump to turn on when you turn your key on

check for blown fuses

I just installed a greddy kit on my zc and its doing the same thing, just it didnt start the first time, just cranking no starting. Any advice, all the electrical seems good the only thing i had to do what the e-manage, but their were two extra wires, a yellow and a gray, but there wasnt anything on them in the manual, unless it go cut off

how low is the fuel pressure...most cars with abnormally low fp wont start at all....id check and make sure the psi is right on for idle..u also might have a bad fpr...doesnt matter if its new or not..pull the vacuum hose off and see it the pressure jumps up. if not that bad boy is toast and its returning all the fuel to the tank
