Default S2k won't start ... Help

What's going on s2ki members ... I'm new to owning a s2k and new to this site and currently my car isn't starting, it cranks but no start. I got the car started by literally pushing the car and popping the clutch but as soon as I reach low rpms the car just cuts off. Any ideas what this could be ?

Anything would help ... Thanks

Welcome to the site.. sounds like ur not getting fuel, if you try and start it for long peirod of time do you smell fuel? if not then ur not getting.. if you do smell it then your not getting a good enough spark.. Check your spark plugs if they look good then pop them back in the coils and have have someone turn it over with the plugs and coils out and look for a spark..

Also this just came to me... And I beleave this is the problem... take ur backup light fuse out for 5 minutes or so, its located in the drivers side right under the dash.. the diagram for the box is on the kick pannel by the hood latch.. I had this happen to me when I had to many keys on my key ring and it interferes with the immobilizer.. Car wont start untill you reset the ecu by pulling the backup lights fuse out

Do you have two bars of fuel showing on the gauge? You may have a walbro and the float is stuck. My gauge never goes below two bars.

do you by any chance have two keys? one that may not be programmed to your car? and you just happen to grab that one?

Check all your fuses? (both behind the steering wheel and under the hood)
