OKay peeps. need some help
When I hooked my engine up today, I tried turning it over to start. All it did was sputter white smoke then die.
Is this a
Fuel delivery problem?
TPS problem?
What do I need to do now?
Thanks
Mike

I am about 60 percent positive the fuel lines are hooked up right. I know the secondary rail has fuel in it. AFM is connected properly. All the functional sytems are hooked up right, not tuned, though. My knock sensor, water thermosensor, alteranator are not hooked up. Dale Clark mentioned the CAS and vaccum leaks. I have one broken secondary...hmmm. I DUNNO? I have a vacuum lead in the center of the LIM, that;s blocked off. Is this necessary? I also have a knightsports FCD hooked up too.
Help,
Mike

Bleah! That wasn't it.....Let's see:
BAC plugged in
water thermosensor plugged in
intake air thermosensor plugged in
TPS plugged in
OMP plugged in
Pressure sensor plugged in
AFM plugged in
no vaccum leaks
ACV removed
throttle body mod done
pressure relief solenoids plugged in
ECU plugged in
FCD plugged in
Air pump removed
throttle cable connected
coils connected
fuel lines connected
CAS connected
alternator NOT connected
belts NOT connected
exhaust NOT connected
engine starts easily.. turns over a few times then dies, like fuel is cut off or spark just stops going to plugs... it almost starts like the AWS is kicking in(with a really high idle), then it (1) gets fuel cut (2) plugs stop firing
DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN
