Ok I have a 1g FWD talon minor mods 16g,FMIC, walbro255.... Well my car didn't want to start... It cranks but nothing... My o2 sensors wires are
kind of broken so I jiggled the wires and that's when a hell broke loose... I left the key on the on position and when I jiggled the wire it fried the ECU... So I fixed the wires and replaced the ecu but still nothing... I also changed plugs/wires, cas, igniter and still nothing... What should I look at???

Check all fuses. Perhaps relays. I'd recomend having a local DSM'r to help you out if you aren't skilled yet in wiring or are afraid to take it on yourself IF the problem is much worse than I hope it is... Best of luck. Tell everyone what you find.
 
My car at some point just turned but never fired up. It was that old 14 year old fuel filter that was my problem. After I got the new fuel filter it turned for a while then started up. When it first happened the car was hesitant at times to start but never did, it just went back to turning.

Always start with the simplest solution .
fuses relays and so on.
If the ecu is not brand new...
have it tested. Ecm link does this.
Bad ecus are classic for no starts and running on 3 cylinders.
Also check your cam and crank sensors.
After that negative batt wire grounds.
