Doesn't have time huh, wow. Awesome customer service right there I tell ya.
I didn't see any mention of this though. On the fuel part when you turn the key on but not start the car. Can you hear the fuel pump prime? If not something to look at there maybe a bad relay or something.
As far as no spark I'd be interested in seeing what was done on the tune. If you can get a look at it or have some pull it and post it up that would help...

So far as fuel goes, i have the fuel pump wired into the chassis wires so it comes on when the ignition does. That is also the same circuit i have my 5 pink wires tapped into. I thought maybe they were not getting enough signal from the 30amp fuse, but changing locations did nothing to either voltage or outcome. I would be interested to see what was done on the tune too. Going to see what i can come up with there.
Also i am seriously considering buying some tuning hardware/software. I'm still doing some research between HP Tuners and EFILive. I'm not going to start a discussion on it, just something i'm pondering.
I really hope it is that simple. Going to try and get in touch with a friend today that has HP Tuners, and see if he can help me out some.

EFILive vs HPT is a toss up. I've used both and have my preference, but others see it differently....... Ford Vs Chevrolet

Ok I can help you a little maybe. My rx7 LS1 will start for 5 seconds or so and I dont think I have the crank angle sensor plugged in.... so that might rule out one thing??? That or whatever sensor is on the back of the motor under the intake manifold and below the one in the back of the intake manifold. It takes a black 3 pin connector. Hope that helps. Also someone told me my problem might be the VATS.

Got a couple other things in order that some die hard Miata guys are going to hate. I ordered the rear AWR Fender Flares for one. Since they mold into the quarter panels and rear bumper i might as well paint the car. More on all that later.
I got one off a junkyard motor my friend picked up. Just go to a local pick and pull, and you might get lucky. Otherwise it shouldn't be hard to make one yourself.
Going to borrow a friends setup tomorrow, and hopefully figure it out sunday.

How much would you charge to program another ECU while you have the gear? :-D

15x9 6UL's and 275 hoosiers would fit the bill nicely, while 15x8 RB's with 225 RS2's take up street duty

Sorry for the super short update there. I had the computer hooked up outside with the HP Tuners running.
It ended up being crank position sensor. Glad i had the HP Tuners scanner to tell me that or else it would have taken me a while to narrow it down. Everything runs great, although i am having some charging issues... who cares right now. The big thing is that it runs! It is just running open header, so it scared the heck out of me when it first started up.
The 15x9 6UL's with 275/50/15's are exactly what i am planning on running in the rear. I think some 15x8's up front with some 205's would be nice too.
Anyways, right now i have the biggest grin on my face that won't come off.
