Default not starting...

car: 01 gsr
engine: built gsr turbo

the car doesnt start, theres no spark or fuel pressure. the grounds are good. with the key in the on position, the radio works, but the dash lights dont work, nor does the vafc. any suggestions? my thought was that it was the ecu...could it be?

Is it a stock ecu? Check fuses. Could be a lot of things. Did you install a turbo? if so what all was added? Fuel setup?

You could of fried your ecu. Ive heared people say that pluggin and unpluggin the ecu can do that. Are you thowing any codes? If the CEL is solid, when you check it, that means your ECU is bad... Try borrowing a freinds. But having your car turn off while driving..sound like you have a loose ground.

we checked the grounds, they're good. The dash lights dont light up, so we cant tell wheather or not its throwing a code.
