Default turbo gsr not starting after install??? HELP

I have just finished the install on my integra and it won't turn over at all?? I made sure the plug wires were in the right sequence and checked the plugs for the smell of gas, which it had a little. So i let the plugs sit and put them back in and tried to start it again, it sputtered a little like it was about to start but still didn't> i have tried that 2 more times with no luck. Has anyone else had this problem?? I would be much appreciative if someone could help me with my delima thats been goin on for 2 weeks now!!!!

for being a self-claimed "turbopro" you should know that obviously he wasnt talking about a stock resistor box. but one that was wired to work with low impidence injectors.

-weak battery (just get a buddy to jump you or charge it up)

-check for spark in your plugs (turn key over while one spark plug is out, check for spark)

-check all your wiring (I had a map sensor disconnected which caused me to run like **** and barely be able to start)


just try and narrow things down. Check your distributer (could be the coil, cap, etc). I replaced a ton of **** when I was trying to figure out my problem. Trial and error I guess....it was a pain in the *** for me but in the end I was happy, despite the money I spent. Its probably the most simple thing imaginable....

Is it a greddy kit or what??
You need to give us more info if you want to get you car to run..
If your running a missing link I would put a dollar down that you installed it backwards
Let us know

Wow....did anybody read that he said it wasn't turning over. I'm no car expert but wtf do spark plugs have to do with the car turning over. Sounds like maybe a dead battery.

check the grounds and maybe give the starter a rap with the butt of a hammer.

I have a chip that Frank Smith from sfp sent me for the hondata that incorperates the injector size and all. The car actually has a good battery too. How would the starter be effected if i have never had a problem with it before??

Yes it was brand new when i got it. But the thing is i have spark, so how would that effect the coil if it is already firing okay. I spoke with Frank at sf performance and he said if my hondata LED was flashing that was were the problem would be. When i tested it again after i spoke to him, he was right it was flashing. i'm goin to try and get with him tomorrow and see if we can work it out. Does this sound like a familiar problem that has happened to you turbo guys in the past???

Take off the MSD. Put ignition mods back to stock.... I bet it will start.
