Default Need Help! S2k not starting

i took everything off from my turbo kit. Basically it was a custom t3/t4 turbo with custom manifold and piping. Ran it on a AEM EMS version 2 tuned by church's. I removed all the turbo stuff, injectors, fuel pump, ecu, spark plugs, o2 sensor, and stock exhaust system.

I'm only missing the cat on the exhaust and the intake. I used a regular intake piping to connect a basic intake on to start up. There is no cat, but the car doesn't seem to start.

The new spark plugs show signs on oil or black substance on them after i tried starting the car for a while. The car would turn over, but no start. Any advice would be greatful or if you know if i don't have a cat on or if the reinstall was wrong somewhere let me know.

Thanks,

Jon To

Cat has nothing to do with it.

Honestly it could be anything but it sort of sounds like an unplugged air sensor. I had a similar experience in my mazdaspeed3 when I forgot to plug it up. Otherwise tear into it again and see whats not plugged in or missing, etc..

Not the battery because it turns over just fine. Just feels like there no spark.

sounds like you need to go take it to the guy that put your turbo kit on and pay him some more money to make your car stock again!
