Aight, i didn't see the car myself, i'm working off of what the guy from the
garage told me over the phone, but here's the problem:

The car's been there for a while for an engine rebuild. They started it
successfully last week. i then went there to install my J&S Safeguard while the battery was out of the car (out of the car hooked up to the charger). Now i call them today, the guy says he's done hooking up my extra injectors and everything but the car won't start. From what i understood, the engine turns, fires once but then stops.

His guess is alarm system related ... i immediatly thought about LinuxRacr's
thread about fried coils when hooking up the 12v wire of the J&S to the wrong place but i used the same sources as the Turbo Module of my MPI setup i think the coils should be fine and he said that from what the car was doing, he thinks the coils are ok too. I told him that if it was related to the alarm system, he just has to lock the doors with the remote and arm the system, then unlock the doors and try again .... he said he was gona try that and call me back in an hour.

What do you guys think is it? what can it be?

this really sucks ... i'm SSOOOOO close to finally getting the car back =(

i might have a chance to pick up my car tomorrow if we fix this, after almost A WHOLE YEAR without the car so please, if someone can help today that would be AWESOME !
 
i know with some security systems the car will turn over but not fire/spark when disarmed improperly. hopefully he just didn't disarm it properly.
 
aight problem solved =\ ... took me about 2 mins. I used those small blue clip things to connect the 12v and GND J&S wires instead of cutting and soldering them.

i took those clips out and twisted/soldered the 12v and ground wires and was able to start the car. sooo the coils had no power i guess
 
interesting. I was going to suggest that your MAF was unplugged, cause that's what my car does when it tries to start with the MAF unplugged.
 
sometimes i unplug my maf when i park my car in certain places ... i know it doesnt make the car unstealable but it's just another step to maybe discourage thiefs. It happened a few times that i tried to start it with the maf still unpluged. My car will start but eventually stalls when you try to move
