Car won't start after TVS install

So I just installed OTTP's Stage III kit today, and when I turned the key (not start yet) it gave me the Engine Power Reduced bullshit. So I try starting it, it cranks but does not start. Now, I installed a new 3" intake and cleaned the throttle body, which is the only thing I can imagine being wrong. Could it be the new ECM that came with the kit?

Any help would be awesome because I'm going to start troubleshooting first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks!

Yeah, that too. And if you have a trifecta tune why do you need a new ecm anyways?

Make sure u connected the sensor for the TB, it will run without a case relearn but the car runs really really really rich like bad it will spit and sputter if it touches 2 PSI its bad, Go get it tuned! it sucks 2500 for the kit if not more and another how ever much to get tuned =[ but go get it tuned up and ull be alot happier what cooling mods u got for it? get a H/e atleast meth always works my cig has my setup in it i have the same kit as you

If you had the barometric sensor unplugged at all, make sure you didn't accidentally switch the connector with the supercharger inlet pressure sensor.

I had all sensors unplugged. Pretty sure they are back the way they were.

It came with a tuned ecm. All I had to do was plug it up. Would messing with the throttle body cause this? I will look at the codes in the morning.

When I came to that point, I could see how one could mix those up. But since I spray painted my old sc, I could tell which one went where

I heard if you disconnect the TPS that you have to do a relearn once you plug it back in. I just did mine yesterday as well and I left it plugged in just moved it to the side. not taking the chance.

ya u can^^^^....mine did this when i had my stage2 installed. did u plug your fuel pump rely in? your throttle body connection, well if u didnt you would of gotten a code from that. check the injectors, start it and have some one near the engine and stop cranking on it and see if you can hear a leak. did you hook up the fuel rail correctly? i ended up poping off that part thats sealed on and it was leakign threw there, and it wouldnt start. idk just get giving here hell. if you end up giving up ill trade ya my stage 2 setup for it it works
