Unhappy Help; car turns over, but won't start...

Hey guys,

Today, pulled the car out of the garage no problem. Shut it down and tidied it up a bit (yesterday had a new amp installed and the lucid speakers).

Went to restart and it turned over but wouldn't start. Tried again late this evening and the same thing...

Any chance the installed amp is pulling too much power from the batery for the AEM computer to do its job? I am not technical at all, purchased the car with all the goodies installed. It has been a peach the past 2 months, need to have it dyno tuned, but otherwise, no issues. (AEM dyno tuners are not too accessable here in NE Philly)

The AEM computer was moved around a bit during the install, (it is right under the driver's left footwell panel and not secured, but held by the panel in place) but can't imagine that caused the problem. Thought I suppose anything is possible.

Any ideas? (beyond the "it's either not sparking or getting fuel")

Thanks.

Turn the amp and stereo OFF. That should tell you what you need to know.

I'd say it's "likely" that the wiring of the AEM got loose.

Thank you for your input; the car started on Sunday a.m. without a problem. I am bringing it for dyno tuning in 2 weeks. I have a feeling that may solve the issue.
