found the problem. It was the fuel pump or the fact that there was no fuel going to the engine. We replaced the fuel pump with the comtech aftermarket one, but still no fuel going to the engine, also that we still cant hear the fuel pump. The fuse is still good. We dont know whats wrong with it, or maybe you guys maybe know what to check? Need your help!

Sounds like it could be a grounding problem. There is a ground connector on the back of the head that is difficult to attach. Check it and see that it is bolted tight. Also, check the EMS programming and wiring, as your problem could be there. Swap in the stock ECU and see if the car starts.

If your fuel pump JUST turned off and all the wiring is ok, maybe someone turned the fuel pump off in the AEM EMS.

no, I was asking if anyone played around with the EMS. I guess the answer is no. The most likely problem would be fuses/wiring.

If your fuel pump is not bad, I'm going to guess something in the EMS MAP is messed up. Also, this is a long shot, check your battery - the EMS doesn't like low voltage. The fact that you heard some sparking noise when you dyno'd still makes me think it's an electrical issue.
