Default Terminator x max no start

So I have a question. I'm trying to do the first start on my 04 lq4 with a terminator x max and im running into issues. When I try to crank it I'm not getting any fuel or spark. The rails are getting fuel but when I pull the plugs they come out dry. On the indicator light, 6 and 7 (cam and crank) flash blue so I thought maybe I got a bad crank sensor but it's brand new. Also it says stall while I'm cranking and doesn't detect any rpm. As far as I can tell all of my wiring is hooked up correctly I've got my grounds hooked to the back of the heads. Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Use OEM sensors, double check your wiring connections and grounds.

I'm using new acdelco sensors, checked all of my grounds, and I also posted in that group earlier. Thanks for the help!

Maybe verify the harness is pinned correctly as well which falls into what EddieK mentioned. Hopefully you are using GM sensors as I've read about issues with aftermarket, again EddieK mentions that as well. I'm pretty sure even mine says stall while cranking but fires right up within seconds.

Gonna look at the connection make sure it is wired correctly. I've got no spark at all and when I try to data log it, it doesn't detect any rpm. Just stays at zero.

Did you do a TPS Autoset? Also, make sure the battery is good and charged. If the voltage drops too low it wont fire the coils or injectors.

It is normal for the crank and cam sensors to alternate blue/green as it is cranking. If there is an error on either the cam or crank sensors, the LED turns Red.
