What are you using to tune the car?
What is your KOEO fuel pressure?

well its like 28 degrees here so i didnt get around to check fuel pressure. but i pulled the injectors out and turned key on theres nothing. IM running a xerocron basemap for now. To get it to the tune shop. Could it be the main relay if the pumps primeing

Injectors might have changed impedance on you, from your old to your new.

If the fuel pump is priming when you hit the key, it shouldn't be your relay.

You pulled the injectors out of the fuel rail, or out of the intake manifold?

The best course of action would be to check and make sure you are getting fuel to the rail. Loosen the nut on the fuel filter and see if anything comes out. Have a rag ready to catch fuel so it doesn't get on everything, and loosen it slowly.

if its not coming out look for bent lines and such it could also be as simple as a bad/drity filter.

28 degree freezing weather... atmospheric pressure I am guessing is greatly affected at these tempuratures...

whut? lol

DSM injectors are low impedance injectors (2-3 ohms) .Are you running a resistor box? Best place to check for fuel delivery is at the combustion chamber. I dont recommend checking it at the fuel filter because that wont tell you if the injectors are opening. Crank the motor over several times and pull your spark plug and smell for gas.

When you bought the basemap, did you specify what size injectors?

update guys. wow im dumb. I put 10$ thinking that would be enough to get it started. Well i was wrong at 3.81 a gallon 10 bucks dont do a whole lot. Especially want the car was facing down hill. It runs pretty good but that only thing i got on it alittle and it broke up at 6 grand like hitting a rev limiter
