Default Im stumped..............

Ok, ive been having this issue with my car foir some time now. It is running so rich that it will not start. I can even pull out the fuse to the fuel pump then try and start the car and it will start up for about 2 seconds then die from all the extra fuel. I checked my MAP Sensor, Fuel Pressure Regulator, changed my injectors, and inspected the fuel rail. Also, for the O2 Sensor, I havent had that thing in since the day I got my swap so I doubt thats what could cause the problem, I also have a test pipe too. Nothing looks out of the ordinary. I was actually thinking of borrowing my brothers SAFC and just hacking the damn thing and getting it to run again. Any suggestions?

checked your ECT sensor? Lot of people forget about that one. There's 2 of them i believe the one for the computer is on the water neck near the thermostat. That will make a hellova difference. And don't ignore the IAT either. Although it's not a high authority sensor, i've had some problems from it as well. But definitely rule out the ECT first. No check engine light?

hmm i can't picture an o2 sensor not allowing the car to run, i mean it will make it run like trash, but the computer won't even look at O2 until it's warmed up, hence my though for it being an ECT sensor. Try unplugging the O2 sensor for the hell of it.

pop ur hood and put the key in the on position, then put ur ear up to the injectors, if there is a intermission inbetween sprays thats good, if it is a steady flow the ur wiring is messed up and the injectors are constantly firing which = the motor "flooding"

So your saying the wiring for the injectors could have been put on in the wrong order. Another update is that I took out my ECT Sensor and it was completely rusted and looks like its done for. I'll be getting a new one tomorrow so I'll keep you guys posted.
