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.

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.

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.
BTW, in case it's not clear to anyone reading these threads, I'm happy to help diagnose ANY issues with my products by phone, email or private message. Feel free to call my shop at 909-981-3566 with any questions

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
