Default Start the car and turbo timer starts counting down

Ok I've had this issue for a while and now its time to fix it.

So I start the car, runs great, look down and turbo timer is counting down. I completely take the turbo timer out of the system and the car won't start, cranks but doesn't turn over. Seems like the only thing keepin my car running is the turbo timer. This is where I thought it was my ignition switch but I replaced that and it still didnt fix the problem. Now the second thing I was thinking is the main relay? Any thoughts, thanks!!

If there was a problem with the PGM-FI Main Relay car would not run at all.\

Questions...

1 What is the MM&Y of the car?
2 What mods, other then a turbo and the turbo timer?
3 When you say, "the car won't start" have you checked to see if you have spark and fuel?
4 Do you hear the fuel pump priming when you turn on the ign.? 94

so i was checking for injector pulse like you said and i got the idea to check my fuel filter interestingly enough it is bone dry and no fuel is in my lines as i said before my fuel pump is brand new as well as the main relay i get the clicks from the relay but no gas could i have a simply plugged line or what else could cause this? this leads me to believe the injectors are fine due the the fact everything fires with starting fluid but no fuel is being pumped up the line.

Could just be a DOA fuel pump, mayby just unplugged.

Again, #4 do you hear the fuel pump running when you turn on the ign.??? 94

97 acura integra
I have fuel, fuel pump hums like no other. no problems there.
not much mods on electrical other than a turbo timer/RC injectors/obd1 ecu and some bolt ons for the motor.
Spark is good... Like i said, the car RUNS perfectly with the turbo timer on, just starts counting down immediately after startup. when the turbo timer is out of the equation, the car doesnt start what so ever. cranks but doesnt turn over.

how is the timer wired into the system? directly to the igniton or are you using some type of harness? can you take a pic of how its wired?
