Brad;
While I hear what you're saying, I think you're being a little overly-harsh. And I think you're going a little too far off the deep-end when you state that Nobody can diagnose it but him.
Of course others can diagnose it. Are you telling me that if somebody brought that car to you to repair it, the very first thing you would do is take it all back to stock / OEM parts?
c'mon; that's neither smart nor realistic.
I love seeing you be so participatory on the forum lately. As much as I give you a hard time, you are one of the voices of authority that we look to.
But I also love seeing Divers here, and all the rest.
this is my text version of "koombaya".

I'm no Boy-Racer..... but if I can't take every on-ramp at TWICE the posted limit.... I'm a total failure!
Re: Help...one last try
Me again,
Brad, I think you are confusing this thread with another. This car don't run period. Other thread/car #4 cylinder dead.
But just about same situation, lots of parts changed.
I am with Brad on one thing....The Fiat Gods made a dang nice car, and the more you mess with it the more you risk the rath of those same Gods, esp if you don't pay appropriat homage first and learn how it all fits together.
Good luck to all.
Keith

Did you connect the original wire from the coil to the ecu to the purple tach wire on the new ignition system? The ecu needs that signal to pulse the injectors.

I want Diver's car to run and the guy to enjoy it.

If you want to see if your problem come from gaz injection, remove the air filter and spray carburetor cleaner in the AFM while someone start the car. If it start, then you know that your ignition system is Ok
