Default my civic wont start HELP!!!!!!!!!

i have done a lot of checking on my civic and still wont idle basically no throttle respond...

i had a code 3 indeed the map was bad .. ok I replaced it .. do a diaganose and im not getting any codes anymore , so i try to start the car agian .. same story it idles like if only 2 pistons were working , i figure lets c heck timing ... i performed a timing check .. the result .. timing in good condition....
The thing i can not understand for **** , si that why the hell if i keep the key on the ignition possition the car will rev up nice , but as soon as i let it go it will idle like **** again and no throttle response.......

any suggestions??

should i cut the crap and take it to Honda .. the only thing is that since i have turbo and a bunch of mods .. they might give me the finger and wont work on it ...


thanks

I had to read that over and over again. More info please..

okay eher is the complete story ... I upgraded turbocharger on my 1998 civic SI i put a t3t04 i have complete fuel system 450cc injectors VAFC , FMU vortech 255LPH fuel pump ... i was tunning the car im full load 11psi on 4th gear about 6000rpm , all of the sudden i feel a big hit , like fuel cut .. i figure there goes my motor , so i try to start the engine and all i get is a 0 throttle respond messed up idle like when u unplug two spark plug wires ... so i remove the plug and performed a compression test ... it reads all good , i performed a ecu diagnose, and was showing CODE #3 witch is faulty MAP..
I replaced the MAP performed another ECU diagnose and is all cleared no more CODES , I put new Iridum NGKs and try to start the car .. SAME no throttle at all and messed up idle aroudn 400rpm uneven , I check for spark OK , I check for fuel press and injector pulse OK , I check for timing OK as well so I dont know what else to check for ....
The funny situation here is that IF i hold the key on the start the car will rev normal ( can keep the key in there or else i fry the starter) if i let it go like is normal the car will idle like **** once again ......

Ok, so will the car actually start but not idle?

Sounds like a fuel delivery problem.

Take out your spark plugs and tell me what color they are. Brown, white, black??

Keep us posted.

The plugs are BLACK ... I thought on that too but when I removed the fuel rail and cranked the engine all the injectors were opening in their sequence ...
