starting problem

Ok, I finally got my car back together and got an ecu that is programmed for the turbo injectors. I tried starting it and it started fine but only ran for about 1 second. It would idle a little under 1000 rpm for that second and sounded smooth but would instantly die. Any ideas what could be causing this?

well i got it started after unplugging the safc-2... not good... oh well.

I can't seem to figure out what is going on. It definately sounds like timing is off so I need to get a timing light and see what it is doing. I however am positive that the cam timing is perfect and I'm pretty sure the distributer is lined up correctly. This is with the reprogrammed ecu but sounds exactly like it did with the stock ecu. www.paylessfreight.com/turboengineproblem.mp3

woowoo, 4 posts in a row!

well i swapped out the injectors to the stock maxima ones and my car now runs... mostly. there are still a few things i need to sort out to get it running like normal. i wish our injectors were a bit bigger because with these injectors that means no boost for me...
