Hoping someone can help or some suggestions what to try next.Ive been building this car for a little over 3 years now, finally done engine wise and wanted to get it to at least idle and maybe move .I swapped over to speed density and cant get it to start (will catch for a couple seconds but die.
P/O hardwired a 2g mas plug so im using a 2g plug n play cable (i dont have a iat installed yet ,have it set to stock and all zeros across sdweighting),3 bar map is tapped off brake booster (i know not the best option but should work temporarily)
watched every video i could find step by step,

things ive removed egr,charchol canister,cruise control
switched injector plugs(did i wire these wrong ?)
rebuilt TB(BISS 2.5 turns out to start)
had a power steering leak (could it have fried the alternator)
removed ac compressor (could of knocked something out of place, it was a pain to get out)

plugs/wires new,,fuel pump good fuel pressure at 43.5,tried another ptu and mpi
car did run when i first got it so its deffinatly something ive done along the way(was on 550s 2g mas and SAFC
First time posting so hope i added the log right ( trying to crank over a couple times

I will advice to go thru all the electrical carefully as I had very similar issue. I am still jn the process of fuse box and battery reloaction but I wanted to start the car but it would not. I learned that I had too much voltage drop coming to my aem boost gauge, which I am using for speed density, and it would catch and then instantly die. My gauge would come on, Ecmlink would read it but when I started cranking, the gauge would shut off. So my advice would be check your power source to map/boost gauge for which you are using to run on speed density. If there is still a chance, install maf sensor back and see if she would run then. If that is all good then you will need to figure out what you are loosing which is easier said then done.
 
Does it start using the Maf?
You need to fix the iat value in link if you are not using one.
Yes it would start/idle/run on maf when I first got it ,,quick version when I got it, it had a 2g maf 550s and an SAFC ,decided to upgrade to ecmlink ,while waiting for my ecu to get back that’s when I started with removing stuff like the egr,cruise,ac ect.Then decided to go speed density. Im going to triple check everything again today ,and if I have to as a last resort I can undo speed density and reinstall the maf
